I graduated from San Jose State University with degrees in Philosophy/Religious Studies and Physics/Mathematics. Throughout college I tutored various math subjects, physics, and chemistry. After years in the business world I taught math with Denver Public Schools as a Blue Print Math Fellow. I am passionate about learning and helping others.

...connection between the student and the material is the key to education. The teacher's job to identify and facilitate that connection and encourage the student's curiosity. People learn best when they want to learn. Information should be manageable and engaging and assignments should fuel a desire to learn more. To do this I will ask my students a lot of questions and listen carefully to all they have to say. My job is to show...

...enthusiasm for their subjects. In addition, the best teachers know how to make their subjects as engaging as possible by, for example, making a dry statistics lesson into an exploration of an interesting or quirky phenomena of relevance to the student. With my students I strive to make lessons conversational and interactive because learning is an activity one participates in, not a lecture one merely listens to. The most complicated concepts can be simplified into...

I graduated from the Community College of Aurora in May with an AAS. In two years, I will be...

...over the holiday break or busy work they can skirt. With writing, there is not always a correct answer (sometimes there is, like with "there," "their," and "they're," but we will get to that later), and for some that can be scary, but for me, and hopefully the students I tutor, this is the greatest blessing. Writing is about putting your personality and mind into words, and once students come to this realization, writing is...
