...interests to keep them engaged in the lessons and to show them how they can use their new language for self-expression and in everyday life. I have several philosophies I follow when working with students: I stress focusing on strengths instead of concentrating on weaknesses, rewarding the effort instead of the outcome, and sticking by...

...ideas. I specialize in grammar and writing technique; study skills and organization; public speaking; reading comprehension; world, US, medieval, and art histories; ACT Reading, Writing, and English; AP English Language; and college admissions essays and preparation. I love conducting sessions as "learning labs" where open and honest discourse is the foundation from which critical knowledge...

...as the MCAT (old format). For my tutoring style, I would say that it is first up to the student to come prepared having read the relevant material and performed helpful exercises to the best his/her ability so that we can get the most out of the tutoring session. If still struggling with a specific...

...students for the ACT. As a sophomore I have already taken physics, calculus, biology, intro chemistry, and organic chemistry.

I studied abroad in Bonn, Germany, and then lived in Hamburg for four years. While in Germany, I was certified German Level C1...

...University of Virginia. I came to graduate school because of love of learning and teaching. Learning and teaching are really two sides of the same coin. To learn something new and not to impart it to anyone is empty, while teaching without learning is meaningless. Before I started graduate school I taught English and related...

...Caesar had once put HIS foot. It wasn't just possible - it was a fact. I have never recovered! It is this sort of a-ha moment that I hope my students find. I approach each student question as having multiple ways to get to the answer and, as a former college math major, I also...

...as a teaching assistant for a senior level composite mechanics course.

...designing lectures at the graduate level. I've worked abroad and within the United States with language learners hoping to increase their mastery of English.

...has also given me the tools for effective instruction, as well as opportunities to work in real classrooms with students.

...decade. I was highly influenced by a high school teacher that believed in me. My goal working in education is to make that change in a student's educational journey by believing in them. I have recently begun hiking the Ice Age Trail which totals over 100 miles. It may take a while to complete, but...

Once we understand needs, then we can make a plan for moving forward. Outside of education, I play guitar and steel guitar and restore old pinball and arcade games.... My teaching philosophy is primarily constructivist. I think the student needs to be at the center of the learning process. Children learn...

...in China for ten years, mostly at the high school and university levels. In China I was also fortunate enough to serve as the director of studies for an English language high school, which gave me an opportunity to dive deeper into assessments and see how teachers can help students understand just what they’re supposed...

...interject humor. The rectal valve, for example, is important structure for everyone. It prevents that “you hope no one noticed” fart from being loaded.
