My Approach

Holly's goal is to help students reach their full potential. She firmly believes that all students can cultivate success with the right mindset, strategies, and instruction. Her experience as a private tutor has taught her that each student is unique. In her tutoring sessions, she bases instruction around each student's individual needs, goals, and areas of improvement. To help students become independent learners, she assists in setting SMART goals and keeping track of progress.

She considers herself not only a tutor, but also a mentor and spends time getting to know her students. Her students often describe her as friendly, patient, and knowledgeable.
