...of exploration and discovery, both online and in books. Writing, where many students have the greatest difficulty, should be enjoyed as an expressive activity, not dreaded as a mysterious and difficult task they will never master.

...teaching--especially in their first few years. (I know, because I became a first-time teacher.) When I began teaching, this knowledge spiraled me into a state of profound reflection. For the first time, I took seriously all of the pressures on this position--out of school political fighting, in school political fighting, funding shortages, etc. It was not clear to me at the time, but teachers do one of the most difficult jobs and receive the least...

My goal as a tutor is to ensure that every student learns the material that I am assigned to teach. I intend to work until I accomplish this goal. I will not feel fulfilled if a student walks away from the session unsure of the material. ... My philosophy is quality over quantity.
