Through my interests in music, teaching, and research the most valuable skill I have learned is the ability to communicate material in a clear and approachable manner.

I love to read and to discuss what I've read, and I heartily appreciate a good philosophical argument. Extracurricularly, I write...

...classroom as a Jumpstart Corps Member taught me to adapt my teaching style to each childs needs. While some learned better through mnemonics and letter-to-word associations, others preferred to process information and teach content back to me themselves. The greatest lesson I've learned as a tutor is to first step back and let a student tell me their goals, show me how they take in information, and point me in the direction of the challenging...

And I've been developing materials for several publishers of math textbooks and web-sites.... Treat every student...

I also tutored them in college essay composition, resume writing, current events, Algebra, Geometry, spelling, and grammar. My other significant tutoring experience was as a volunteer for Read Ahead. I taught an adorable 2nd...

...material especially when we didn't have a good teacher. Taking so many math classes, I can tell that the quality of the professor/teacher affects students grades and ability to learn the material and have learned from those good professors/teachers how to help a student learn the material. When I tutor I like to explain the concept and make sure the student understands, if they do not I explain it in a different point of view...

...as well. As a teacher, I choose to construct my lessons so that they are student centered. Each of us learns differently, and we each have our own unique virtues and vices as learners. Above all, I strive to establish a relationship of mutual recognition of mutual respect between myself and my students. This is the groundwork for any trusting relationship, and is the key to establishing free flows of information between student and teacher.
