On the personal side, I enjoy interior decorating, baking, and playing bass guitar. In addition to my work in education, I volunteer at the Fort Worth Humane Society and makes sure to visit my grandparents once a fortnight. I'm currently working on a large glow-in-the dark puzzle.."

" Mathematics is a language, an art, a science, and a discipline. I view mathematics as a way for young minds to know the thrill of learning a serious discipline in a high-energy, focused environment. We play and learn. We in the western world tend to focus on the science and discipline without incorporating the language and art."

"I completed my student teaching at a local high school where I taught and developed the curriculum for an 11th grade AP English Literature class. Previous to this I worked with 6-12th graders as an AVID tutor at various schools throughout my district. Teaching has always been a major part of my life. From a young age I have tutored friends and family members in a variety of subjects at many different grade levels. Although I have consistently helped others throughout the learning process, I too have been on the other side of the tutoring spectrum." ...

" I am currently employed as an Athletic Trainer at a busy orthopedic office and perform additional outreach covering various youth sporting events across the DFW area. Despite having a full-time job, about a month after graduation I realized that there was something missing in my day and that was school. While I do not have plans to return to school as a student immediately, I began to look into other venues where I could be involved in academics and help others succeed. The solution I found was to look into tutoring other students and that is how I found Varsity Tutors." ...

I feel it's my duty to pass on what I've learned throughout my high school and college experiences."

"One of the subjects I studied there was the education system, and most of all, how children are falling behind in math. This really motivated me to look into this field more and do what I can to help our children do better. I'm determined to see the education level of this country rise. As a dancer, I was often put in charge of younger kids and helped them learn routines, especially ones that were struggling. I had a knack for helping kids remember their moves through catchphrases and alternate explanations of how the movement was supposed to work." ...

"He’s sobbing. In my experience, a child often needs you to ask questions. Why? What’s going on? What’s our problem and how can we solve it together? They need to know you’ll care before they’ll answer. Many times the reason for an outburst in class or confusion about an assignment is an underlying need for help or an issue."
