Personal Statement

My training and life experiences have helped me develop an approach to problem solving which is "out of the box." Sometimes all one needs is a fresh outlook to identify a blockage in the learning process. I believe in the premise that a teacher is also a coach, who offers encouragement and support along with know-how. For further information about my services and how we can work together, please feel free to drop me a line.
