...I've always been a fiction writer, and was fortunate enough to follow this passion at my university. Throughout my education, it's been the classes that stimulate my interest and capture my imagination that I find myself learning the most from, but even when I've taken subjects I didn't think I'd connect with, there have been teachers whose passion for the material helped me find my own. When tutoring reading and writing, it's my goal to...

After working for what seems as a lifetime in healthcare administration, I realized that much of my role in leadership was education. It brings me sincere joy to assist others in learning new concepts through the style that best meets the student's style.

...say that I teach "maieutically;" which comes from the Greek and means "to midwife, or aid in giving birth," in this sense, to an idea. I prefer to ask the student lots of guiding questions, instead of didactically infusing them with answers. This method results in what I like to call "intellectual exhilaration," in other words, the student is excited because they were able to create something out of themselves, instead of being imbued with...

...Oregon. My teaching experience consists primarily of serving as a teaching assistant for six quarters at Portland State. While I worked with a diverse group of professors who assigned somewhat different duties to their assistants, each provided me with the opportunity to develop my teaching skills in a real-world environment.

I've...
