My favorite subject is and has always been English, so it is no surprise that I entered the publishing industry after college and am loving it. The aspect of tutoring I find the most rewarding is watching my students improve, and that is why my favorite subject to teach is SAT, as the progress is easily measurable.

I've been in the classroom for about five years and even though I was "the teacher", I learned so much. I learned that children need structure and discipline. I learned that each child is different and learns in different ways, so as an educator, I have to find what pathway works best and use it to help a child learn." ...

" Every student should have the opportunity to learn and succeed. Teachers help lead students on this path to success through their various teaching methods. 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."
