...countries. I love Geography and History. My teaching philosophy is to look at it not merely as a recitation of facts, but as a means of understanding cultures and politics different from our own. I have taught people from age 4 to 40, in one-on-one, small group and large classroom settings. I spent a year in Taiwan as an ESL teacher.

Many rounds of editing my own essays has taught me how to effectively structure both the essays and supplements. I love helping students learn and reinforce concepts they didn't previously understand. I am patient, enthusiastic, and creative--all traits I believe are very important when it comes to being a strong tutor!

...students so I have a good amount of experience working with students who speak English as a second language. Obviously I tutor writing, but I also love working with literature because I love stories and I love how different people experience those stories in different ways, which I feel also reflect my "teaching philosophy". Everyone understands things in different ways, but sometimes knowledge is presented in a way that is not easily understood. My job...

...paper practice, such as problem sets or essay writing, I feel that it is very important to have a dialogue and discuss where the student is feeling strong and where they are feeling weak.

Outside of teaching, though, I love to write and read for pleasure, as well as learn about art and art history. I also play the french horn and the trumpet!

...having a strong understanding of the subject matter covered on these exams, test-taking strategy is a strength of mine, including time management and general multiple choice strategy.
