...standardized test preparation the most. I love helping my students find beauty in the English language in addition to helping them achieve their college goals.

I view education as a skill; education is not around to help us learn specific things, but rather...

...a charter school to provide one-on-one support to children who struggle with math and reading.

Everyone has their own energy and...

Education has opened up so many doors for me, and this is largely because I was fortunate to have some amazing teachers growing up who made learning fun (or at the very least not miserable).

...has questions, it is even more important to get to the point of figuring problems out in your own way. There are garden variety formulas, equations, variables, etc. in Mathematics and Statistics that may call for "memorization", but it is of utmost importance that a learner be able to use their own reasoning to work through problems. For me, it is important that I communicate problems in real-world context and emphasize that there is almost...
