...draws on my own experience as a student in the personalized, small classes offered at a small liberal arts school like Wesleyan. As a result, my philosophy often translates into a teaching style that draws heavily on high-level devices like stories, analogies, and real-life experiences tailored for the student. Together, we can then boil down the big picture into relatable specifics through which one can find the answer. The process can be thought of almost...

...Law School. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with a focus on Critical Theory and Cultural Semiotics. As such, I've always tried to travel *within* each Standardized Test, parsing out an underlying structure, and then using this framework to "crack the code." Whenever I've worked with students in this manner, we've always had a total blast-- it's like a puzzle in a challenging video game, a newly-discovered leitmotif, or even an unexpected...

...nourish the distinct talents inherent in others. I know that I would not be where I am today if it were not for someone at one point recognizing my potential, and encouraging me to pursue my goals.

I believe an instructor is supposed to inspire a passion for learning. Through my teachings, I impart to students that learning is less about natural talent and more about hard work and dedication. My lessons are dialogues, I have a conversation with the student to pinpoint their exact academic needs, and make not only show help them where they're having trouble, but also give them the tools to do so on their own.
