...courses. In graduate school, I was known as the teacher. I went out of my way to attend teaching seminars and jumped at opportunities to lecture in front of classes. When applying for the graduate teaching award, numerous students wrote me letters of recommendation stating that I was instrumental in them passing the class, because I was able to communicate difficult concepts in easy-to-undertand manners. My teaching philosophy is to guide and show, not tell,...

...about creating a unique learning style to help each student best make sense of the material. Before long, more and more parents began to ask for me by name. Their kids were hardworking and bright but still struggling with large gaps in their fundamental skills. We focused on their own specific needs -algebra, grammar, reading- at whatever pace was right for each day. I saw many students make large strides in difficult classes and I...
