"After spending more than 3 years in the Middle East, where I recently completed my coursework for the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's masters program in the Bible and Ancient Near East, I am glad to be back in California! I have mentored, tutored, and taught students of various ages and backgrounds all over the world for the last 8 years. These experiences included teaching at- risk students in Oakland and Palestinian kids in East Jerusalem.

"Consilience and cross-applicability, a similar critical perspective knowing more than singular methods or conclusions exist in even mathematics, and you’ll use on other scaffoldings you encounter, that you read through, fathom and study in most courses. I pursued numerous subjects beyond necessary hours and courses, but concentrated on literature, less concrete than sciences, but an inexhaustible art-form realized in plot and characters, inexactitudes, except in the author's nuances, rife ambiguities, choices made into the finality of a piece conceived by fears, humanity, sentimentality, joys, episodes and ...

" It's also fun to build rapport with young people and help them discover the joy of learning.

"WYSE is a group that mentors middle school girls in East Palo Alto, and I started off as a mentor and became one of the directors of the organization. I really enjoy helping high school students with test prep, because I remember how stressful it was for me and I like to remind students that regardless of how it may seem, the SATs are not impossible and not the end of the world! My approach is practical and takes some of the anxiety out of test-taking, I also love volunteering, and In my free time, I am currently interning at Baby2Baby, a non-profit that provides essential baby gear to over 50,000 children in the LA area every year. I also enjoy taking ...

"In 2009, I graduated from the University of Georgia with cum laude honors and a BA in English, and I am currently an aspiring author. I've group-tutored at a middle school the last two years and have privately tutored over a dozen students during that same stretch. I've also worked with pre-teens and teenagers at youth camps the past two summers, gaining much experience and valued interaction with students of all personality types. I'm currently employed part-time with a learning center, and I am always eager for students to tutor. I'd love the opportunity to help, regardless of the situation and need!." ...
