...many different circumstances and contexts. Although everyone is capable of learning, a student's desire to learn is a vital pre-condition to effectively mastering new concepts and skills. Humans have multiple learning styles: some learn best in lecture atmospheres, some are motivated by discussion, and others absorb best when they read and reflect on what they have read. The classroom setting can encourage or inhibit learning depending on the dominant learning style of each student.... See where...

...and understanding. I do believe that all students can learn and are teachable. Every student has the capacity to be successful and to achieve beyond their imagination. Students vary in their learning styles and abilities. With this in mind, I differentiate my instructions to meet the needs of individual students.

...a graduate student, I was a young scholar, an immigrant, and a child who struggled in school. While all the other students got it, I just didn't . School was hard for me, and while I liked my friends, I hated the humiliation of just not getting it. What took others just moments to understand, took me hours to maybe just kind of get. It was exhausting! With the help of teachers, tutors, and my...

After just a few months with my student, I was able to help my student attain grade-level reading skills and discover a love of nonfiction books.

...my learners, I like to make sure that every concept is fully understood before moving on, and I often like to do quick flashbacks to make sure nothing has been forgotten.

Outside of school I love to read, travel, and explore new places with my friends. I look forward...

...mathematics. As a commuter from Laytonsville, MD, I strived to be efficient like my older brother. I quickly learned to be independent, patient and disciplined. Time was always a concern of mine because of my long commute. At an early age, I found that doing things the right way maximized my options and unveiled personal long-term satisfaction. I used the same approach to succeed in my math courses as I did to become a successful...

...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.

That's when it hit me, I shouldn't evade questions about psychology, I should embrace them. Now, when...
