...I am more than happy to share with others. With respect to my tutoring philosophy, I firmly believe that the best teachers teach what they are most knowledgeable about.

...will use creativity and alternative options to ensure active participation highlighting strengths and improving weaknesses. I believe students require a positive role model as their teacher, who is there to guide creative thinking. Students must have the mobility to recharge and improve learning connecting cognition with physical energy. Students who have an opportunity to use hands-on learning will increase their creativity and reach a higher level of thinking. Students need a safe environment to express...

When a subject -- like History -- is interesting to me, it gets communicated (like a virus!) to those around me. I believe that the stories behind the facts are the more interesting and can share those insights with my students....

...experience, on top of teaching in several different capacities for seven of them. I love working with students on a one-on-one basis, and use a warm, humorous approach to put students at ease and take the pressure off them so that they can learn without feeling stressed. I believe there is a solution to every problem, and there is no right way to learn something. People learn in different ways, it's just a manner of...

...higher standard than typical American school teaching. The USA is slipping out of education rankings and the average American speaks 0.8 languages; we're not even at 1 language, including English! I believe people are much smarter than what they're given credit for, whether they're kids, tweens, teens, or adults.

...is, and ought to be, for its own sake. Math and philosophy, and their nuanced interactions, are my great passions. I've run more 5ks and 10ks than I can count, but the validation of completing a long race is nothing like the satisfying moment of writing "Q.E.D." on a difficult proof.
