I am a zealot for designing and facilitating transformative educational initiatives and experiences, and I love helping people discover their own innate potential.

I think that everybody can develop a love for history, they...

With each of my past tutees I have worked to not only enhance their understanding of the curriculum, but also to help them find the motivation, study skills, discipline and joy that are necessary to truly excel in the classroom.

I am also a strong proponent to the philosophy of instilling self-confidence in students, and believe strongly in positive reinforcement. I believe in the importance of recognizing the good and positive in each student's work, and working around their strengths, rather than directly attacking the negative qualities of...

...As for my love of tutoring, I feel that teaching others to solve certain problems is in many ways more gratifying than coming up with a correct answer to a problem yourself. In a similar vein, while it may be clich (though just because something is said a lot doesn't mean it's trite), helping others come to understand a point of view they didn't hold before or aiding them in the development of a new...

...and a BFA in Painting from Maryland Institute College of Art. When beginning to work with a student no matter the level of the student or the subject matter to be covered I always make sure that the student and I are on the same page.

...a myriad of ways: I've taught both in the States and abroad, tutored, trained teachers, taken academic courses, and worked with education policy. Half of learning is understanding the material, and the other half is understanding yourself and how you need to relate to the material. I think a well rounded, successful student needs to focus on both aspects in order to be prepared for a lifetime of learning, and I'd love to help each...

...the arts and am interested in creating dialogues on the ways in which the arts—and the ways our businesses and government support the arts—are an essential component of our everyday lives.

The arts and artists are an integral part of the solution to the challenges we face in all parts...

I also had opportunities to tutor through school and work with kids outside of school, and am excited...

...be an engineer. The fact that you can calculate and predict physical phenomena (like how fast a wheel will roll down a ramp or how far a pumpkin will travel when launched at a specific angle and speed) and then alter parameters to achieve a desired result is pretty awesome! To give my brain a break, I love physical activity, in particular team sports. In my free time, you can almost always find me somewhere...
