...must be willing to be a great learner. All the great teachers that I have met were flexible, kind, and learners themselves. I try to bring these qualities to every class I teach. As a teacher for almost 13 years, I also believe it is important to adapt and change what you teach based off of your student's strengths and learning styles. Making each teaching experience unique to the person you are teaching will help...

...writing center. I loved seeing my student's command of their material become increasingly sophisticated throughout the course of their academic year by focusing on their overall comprehension as well as the mechanics of their writing.

I want to make the material I teach accessible and enjoyable to everyone, regardless of their prior familiarity with the topic.

I realize that some people learn better by reading the material, while others learn better by talking about it. In my free time I enjoy reading,...

I've been lucky to...

Learning is what goes on inside one's head and teaching is what goes on outside! In my experience this is true across ages and geography and subject matter. However, the tutor plays a critical role in success with the student. I believe it is the confluence of the relationship between the tutor and the student, the tutor's subject matter knowledge, and the methodology utilized that realizes the outcome.

My goal is to help others develop a deeper understanding of complex topics like philosophy, law, and critical thinking. I bring a patient, thoughtful...
