Shawn Calvert

As a dedicated educator, I have over 15 years of experience in personalizing instruction and elevating students' skillset and comprehension to new levels. I adopt a student-centric approach, where I tailor the teaching style to each individual's unique learning style, and utilize a blend of one-on-one and small group instruction best practices to optimize performance.

During tutoring sessions, I consistently check for understanding, and instantaneously provide constructive feedback to rectify comprehension breakdowns. My interactive approach allows for precise progress evaluation and effective intervention to simultaneously bolster skills and confidence.

I am excited about the prospect of working with you and your child, and helping them achieve their academic goals!
