Bio
I am Keith Howard, and I can help you get a handle on academic subjects that may be a challenge. I believe that working through challenging material can be an exciting opportunity. I look for ways for us to move through the necessary parts of a subject and then create something fascinating. I always look for ways to bring our work back to something you’re interested in. My job is to steer the tutoring process so that you can feel a sense of confidence in approaching the subject ahead of you. I look for creative ways to explain something. I am a practicing artist and I have the way of looking at things that involves insight and creativity; I may wind up explaining something in a way that’s totally new.
