"I tailor each session to suit the individual’s personality, interests, and academic needs. While I am able to sit down for a traditional session to explain a concept, I am also able to design creative and interactive lessons for both young and mature learners to break up the monotony we sometimes find in learning (especially if the student has been in class all day). I am passionate about teaching and have a flair for doing it with creativity and plenty of energy.."

" During the week, I am a practicing attorney who has taken and passed three bar exams - each on the first attempt. I believe that any student can achieve and that no one style fits everyone. I maintain flexibility and adjust my methodologies for each student that I work with. However, I generally like to keep my sessions casual, focusing on improving the student's confidence and scores, as I have found that some students become discouraged when they struggle. In my spare time I read a wide variety of books, enjoy listening to music, and playing with my three-year-old daughter. When I can find time, I like doing crossword puzzles as well.." ...

"As a teaching assistant, I acted as an approachable resource in small group discussions for students who had questions on the material the professor had presented in lectures. In these small group discussions, I helped students "link" new information from lectures into their previous personal knowledge base, creating a more complete and natural understanding of the material then mere rote memorization. I believe this method of teaching, helping students form meaningful connections with the material they are studying to foster a more comprehensive understanding of it, best describes my teaching style. I also try to ...
