Experience
I have over 40 years' experience teaching K-post graduate school.

Teaching style
One-on-one, in person or online. If the student does not have a comprehensive evaluation, I do an informal one to guide my teaching. I build on a student's strengths and interests, locate the student's growing edge, and enlist the student to perform a series of experiments, adopting customized learning strategies to see how they pay off over time. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and based on the sacred trust implicit in any teaching relationship. My goal is to reduce suffering.
