I think that knowledge is power and the children are our future. I once dreamt of being a high school math teacher but resigned to studying economics in lieu of this dream. I like the relative certainty of mathematics and look forward to tutoring more people. "Teach a man to fish..." I believe that if I can inspire in others, even in the smallest manner, my love for knowledge with my intuitive outlook toward problem solving, I will be satisfied. I think I have some insight into the idea behind the principle and how to explain it.

...This was a lab based course that investigated topics in genetics and developmental biology. I had a lot of fun working hands-on with biological specimens, and it was a thrill to create a contagious learning environment.

...Personal Fitness Trainer, Independent First Aid/CPR Instructor and Family Caregiving Leader through the Southeastern Michigan Red Cross. Living gives me great joy; especially when time is spent with my 2 nephews, 1 niece, and 2 cats (Syren & Kooper).

Away from family, I am working out: Kangoo Jumping, and weather permitting, riding my Trikke. Remember to KISS...

...so that the process is always student-driven and interactive. I am very creative and differentiated in my approach to teaching. I know that each student is different, with unique interests, and I tailor sessions to be effective for each particular student. Students are often surprised at how much they have learned and how quickly the lesson has gone by. But you know what they say, time flies when you are learning. ;) Although I enjoy...

Hi! I'm a writer and a visual artist born in South Africa and raised around the world. For the past year, I've taught and tutored students in SAT, ACT, and reading and writing enrichment in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I love reading, learning new things, and climbing rocks, and I travel whenever possible. The most important thing to me is movement: as long as I stay active, I'm happy.... Less is more. As a teacher, I aspire to let my students carry the weight of their instruction. The less I lecture, the more my students are figuring things out for themselves; and in the long run, that kind of information is more likely to stick.

...for the past year. It has been a very fulfilling experience and a skill I would like to continue developing. It is such a joy for me to see the light of understanding in my students' eyes and be able to track their progress and academic achievements. I love the challenge of catering to each person's learning style and finding what works best for them. Let's learn together and have fun doing it!
