...am a practicing attorney, but my passion has always been to teach. I have taught children, friends, colleagues, clients, and subordinates throughout my life and it is the single most enjoyable part of my job.

While I...

...in an urban slum in Kenya for one summer, where I provided homework and test-prep help to primary and secondary school children. While I am comfortable and happy tutoring many subjects, I have the most fun with English and History/Social Studies, as these were my favorite subjects in school (though I must admit, math practice for standardized tests is my guilty pleasure!).

...Organic World Languages method of teaching languages, which focuses on student production, and making meaningful language in context instead of memorizing. I find applying this framework is useful for teaching and tutoring both Spanish and English. I gained fluency in Spanish during my semester studying at a university in Chile, and have taught Spanish to elementary students and I tutored college students. I have worked with both children and adults learning English too. In my...

...have also provided advice on application essays, resumes, and interview strategies for Harvard College students applying to highly competitive scholarships. Each of these experiences has taught me how to communicate concepts in clear and engaging ways. For instance, while tutoring adolescents enrolled in the Boston-based Artists for Humanity program, I would often teach students whom I had never worked with before, and thus became adept at quickly discovering and implementing the strategies that worked best...

...styles, multiple intelligences, personalities, and so on. There is not a single infallible path to this goal, but as many paths as there are children. The learning environment is an important aspect of education. Fostering an atmosphere of focused yet relaxed observation, inquiry, conjecture, discovery, analysis, and evaluation is the best learning "environment" for which there is no substitute. Family involvement is important to encourage. Informative communication is essential; making families feel totally comfortable about...
