My past tutoring experience involved mostly mathematics tutoring in subjects such as geometry and algebra, but I feel just as...

...major goals: a PhD in Economics. There are two events through college that made me realize that in the future pedagogy as a College Professor could be one of my professions: teaching fellow classmates about a subject during group studies, and helping cousins via Skype with their homework. I personally believe that a person doesn't, solely, master a subject when he "aces" an exam, but when he is also able to communicate what he has...

...and were hard to understand. I asked multiple questions during class that seemed silly or easy to other students. I went to nearly every office hours available and wondered if some professors may have moved them to avoid me! With time, effort, and the help of many people, I succeeded. This experience taught me two things. One was what made math hard and how to learn effectively. The other was that everyone has the potential...
