"I think the key to doing well on standardized tests and writing great essays is having the information to make clear connections between ideas. When I tutor, I require a certain level of memorization, because I think a strong base of knowledge leads to original thinking. But I don't rely on memorization alone - knowing facts is only one part of a holistic education. For example, a good essay depends on insight just as much as knowledge."

I believe these methods should incorporate students’ unique backgrounds, cultures, experiences, and learning styles. There should be no single approach to teaching, as each student you encounter is different, and each experience adds something new to the mix. When I teach, I always try to make a connection to each of my students through their past experiences, culture, and background."
