About Todd
Experience: 25 yrs
I offer executive function coaching, academic and test prep tutoring, homeschool, online, and classroom instruction, and special needs support. I'm an lL-certified English teacher with two Master's degrees in education and awards for outstanding teaching and 30+ years' experience. My students have gained admission to competitive schools, scholarships, and long-term success overcoming disabilities. I support students from primary to graduate education. I've directed tutoring centers and alternative programs. I offer all-subject support, early reading, study/organizational skills, test prep, ESL, GED, business writing, and college admissions help. I specialize in career coaching and academic advising for secondary/college students -- helping them explore interests, document wins, clarify goals, and plan future paths. I've also served as ombudsman for special needs learners. I bring wisdom, curiosity, a strong commitment to each student's growth and success, and a broad resource network.
Most recent review
Todd is a challenging and rewarding mentor. Holding me to high standards while offering me a constant avenue of support and resources, I saw my grades drastically improve as a result of our ongoing relationship. For example, because Todd taught me the value of planning my time while training me in a few strategies for managing my time, I have become capable of submitting more of my assignments on-time. Throughout my relationship with Todd spanning about 5 years, he has fulfilled multiple roles including but not limited to: English tutor, time management trainer, pep talker, college admissions adviser, spiritual counselor, job coach, and career adviser. Overall, I highly recommend Todd as a mentor for a student who is struggling with their academics (English and writing are Todd's strengths but he will be happy to provide tutoring and resources in all subjects), motivation, daily planning, and job/career preparation.
