Serving the Aurora/Oswego area

Tutoring that starts from where you actually are.

I don't offer prepared explanations. I stay with the confusion until I understand the source, and build each session from there.

About & approach

Connecting the dots in real-time.

I work across computer science, mathematics, and research/writing support. My approach is rooted in the belief that true understanding emerges from grappling with confusion, not from passively receiving explanations. I don't just want to help students get the right answer—I want to help them understand how to get there on their own.

"

Standardized schooling tends to offer passive explanations and rapid testing of memorized information. My approach counters the difficulties experienced with this kind of instruction by sitting with specific roadblocks.
