...in admittances and scholarships. On the weekend you might find me running with my dog, playing board games with my daughters, snowboarding, or just hanging out with a book. I love learning new languages and am working on a comedy script. I hope I can help you reach new heights in learning!... Early on in my life, I observed that an instructor who teaches (to) students makes little impact, as these lessons are simply foreign words and concepts that seem to have little relevance to the student. And so, ever since high school, I've been enthralled by the Socratic method.

...There is no perfect model for teaching a lesson. Instead, I strive to recognize what makes a lesson "click" for that particular student. I always ask myself: "how can I get this student interested and confident in this subject matter?" I spend my sessions doing just that: getting kids excited about whatever it is they...

...it's most helpful to talk through the project, whether it's preparing for a test or writing an essay, to find out where the points of confusion are or what skills are necessary to get the best result.

...I'm treated to an engaging story in every class. I believe in a constructivist approach to learning, and will act as a guide for the student to learn, explore and wonder.
