...University, with an emphasis on education policy. Previously, I worked as an ESL/English teacher in both Incheon, South Korea, and Shanghai, China, where I taught students from ages 3 to 18, and also provided training to the new teachers. One of my favorite courses was the intensive writing course, where students learned about the writing process, from brainstorming and drafting, through revision, and then finally creating a final copy. The class did an excellent job...

...asked what my Major was in college. "Psychology? What can you do with that?", "So you must love Freud right?", "Hope you don't plan on getting a job." At first, I took these questions and comments at face value, allowing doubt to ever so slowly creep in and consume me. I knew why I loved Psychology, but I wasn't able to communicate my passion and enthusiasm for the field with those around me. The field...

...a matter of patience and time. Tutoring is not just learning a new subject, it also involves mentorship. At Auburn University, we had a mentor-tutor program that instilled discipline as well as acquiring the skill of learning. Every Sunday night we would have sessions to make sure our students were back in town ready for the next week. And this was not mandatory, thereby instilling self-discipline in our participants. During graduate school, I also tutored...

The most important part of tutoring is to make sure we start at the beginning and work our...

...work in Microbiology. I received a B.S. in Biochemistry from Boston College. I never really thought I would get a doctorate in science- I found science to be quite challenging while I was doing my undergraduate studies. Learning how to study efficiently was really important for my success at Boston College and in getting into a PhD program. I hope that I can help my students learn how to learn by taking big complicated theories...

...nation, math is one language that transcends man's instinctive nature of classification. It connects each and every person in an attempt to understand the world that surrounds them. Equipped with numerous methods, yet grounded by finite answers, math builds upon a person's need to build relationships, creating bridges across any division. It is this "human" aspect of mathematics that intrigues me the most. Arriving at the same answer through so many different possible approaches, math...

...of the SAT. I've received exactly zero job offers in the real world because of it. I have, however, utilized the analytical problem solving skills developed in high school and college test prep to advise a wide range of clients in the financial services industry, one that requires lifelong continuing educational testing. My goal is not to make sure you remember the formula for the volume of a cone ten years from now. It's to...
