...a local, alternative high school. I absolutely love teaching and learning. I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of students.

...were first generation college students coming from low-income homes. I, myself, came from a low-income home and know firsthand how intimidating navigating education can be. I can and will do the legwork it takes to understand not just how to comprehend subject but how to thrive within the system of education. I worked with many students who were used to being overlooked and underrepresented in education. When I taught my course, I focused on personal...

...am primarily a standardized test tutor with Varsity Tutors. Test prep combines the challenge of adapting to different learning styles with the high degree of reward that comes from helping a student raise his or her test scores and therefore open doors for that student, and for this reason, it is by far my favorite subject to tutor. I believe that an educator must first appreciate how each individual student approaches a new concept in...

...free to ask questions and be wrong, or right, or close. Fear of being wrong keeps a student from realizing how close they are to "getting it". Teaching is collaboration. Rewarding and positive correction are the best ways to encourage students to keep trying even after a mistake is made. I also think that due to the nature of learning over time, focusing too long on one mistake, especially in grammar at least, is not...

...broadly. While my favorite subject to teach is literature, my favorite subject to tutor is writing. When I teach a composition course, I am always suprised by how intimidated and anxious students are when it comes to writing and English class in general. I love working with students in this subject because I get to change their negative preconceptions of the writing process, and seeing their face light up when they realize their own potential!...

...were always personal favorites. Even more importantly, in my pursuit of the sciences and humanities I have not just mastered two different types of content; rather, I've mastered two different ways of thinking. Because I understand both the way a strong humanities student might think and the way a strong science student might think, I'm able to 'translate' for students who are strong in one but not the other. I can make science verbal, and...
