...withdrawing to begin my entrepreneurship career. Currently I am in the process of earning my CMA (Certified Management Accountant) certification, and I also hope to be accepted to a graduate psych program next year. In terms of my overall approach, I'm a big believer that meta-learning (the skill of learning how to learn) should be foundational to all education. A little knowledge about how your brain works and learns new things demystifies the learning process,...

...one-on-one interaction I get with people when I tutor. Watching people really understand and be excited about learning is what makes it worthwhile for me.

...3 start-up companies but I love tutoring so I can help students and fund my travel/scuba hobbies. While I have tutored in various subjects much of my experience is in English, in both Spain and the US, as well as Spanish. My favorite subjects are reading/writing, physics, and language because they enable us to describe our world. As a tutor my approach is focused on student discovery which creates confidence in and retention of the...

My teaching philosophy always centers around an active learning experience where...
