Unlocking Your Child’s Potential: fun and rigorous personalized education.
At Addison Academy, I believe that students enjoy the most success by mastering academics and developing themselves as holistic human beings. By combining expert tutoring with a holistic, character centered perspective, I help students thrive intellectually and emotionally—preparing them for school, and also, for life.
​
Academic Tutoring: Setting the Foundation for Success
-
Reasoning: The backbone of a healthy intellect and our democracy.
-
Future-Ready: Academic excellence opens doors to top schools and career opportunities, setting your child up for long-term success.
-
Mastery & Confidence: Our personalized tutoring sessions ensure your child excels in challenging subjects, boosting their confidence and resilience in the face of academic hurdles.
Character Coaching: Building Resilience & Emotional Intelligence
-
Intrinsic Motivation: Without the fire of intrinsic motivation lit, we cannot teach students to thrive in the pursuit of their learning and goals on their own. When students see the purpose and are interested, they learn at an accelerated rate and without extrinsic pressure.
-
Growth Mindset: Few things are more important to learning than believing in your own growth. When effort and perseverance are celebrated— obstacles turn into opportunities for learning.
-
Emotional Intelligence: Through coaching, we strengthen essential character strengths like love of learning, perseverance, and self-regulation. This character education helps students excel even more in the classroom and flourish holistically outside of it, navigating social relationships skillfully and managing their emotions more effectively.
At Addison Academy, I try my best to offer exceptional academic tutoring and character coaching, aimed at encouraging the holistic development of confident, well-rounded individuals who are ready to flourish—academically and emotionally.
In the Wild
When off the clock, I enjoy skiing, surfing, and playing golf with close friends. Here I am at the top of Mt. Glory after a good back country climb.
