...tutor, simply due to comfort and passion for the language. I like teaching by demonstrating a concept, and then having it demonstrated back to me, until I know for sure that a student has absorbed the material. I don't like to teach AT students, and greatly prefer to move at the pace of their comprehension. Besides academics, I really enjoy snowboarding, video games, reading, and getting to share experience with other veterans.

I apparently aspire to have a resume similar to The-Most-Interesting-Man-In-The-World's. As a teacher, I try to "guide learning" rather than just reciting facts or "teaching at" a student. I believe that discovery is the most exciting way to learn as well as the best method for producing long-term recall; it also tailors every...
