...spend a large amount of time frequenting museums, art galleries, operas, and concerts. I love to learn about linguistics and the nuances of foreign languages.

...Indian food!), playing blues/rock music, tinkering with and modifying my electric guitars, and running! My favorite color is red; my favorite place in the entire world is Paris (although I was only fortunate enough to spend time there once), and if I had to pick one song to listen to on repeat on a desert island for eternity, it would be "Atom Heart Mother Suite" by Pink Floyd. My friends describe me as personable, outgoing,...

...in cellular and molecular biology with genetics. During my enrollment, I participated in graduate level classes at the medical school, participated in on-campus research, and completed my studies after just 3 years.

...reading comprehension, and writing, and I can tutor verbal sections for standardized tests including the GRE. My favorite subject, you may have guessed, is history, but I also have a long personal history learning foreign languages, and I feel that this contributes to my skill in teaching English reading comprehension. When I'm not teaching students or sitting in a library, I'm walking my Australian shepherd dog around Fort Tryon Park or shopping for used books.

...social sciences and humanities: anthropology, history, English, political science, sociology, philosophy, economics, geography, etc. I did not learn strictly history. Rather, I learned how to question history and how to apply all the facts and dates to the real world. Social studies is about who we are as human beings and why human actions occur. It is the study of us, and once we recognize the power in that reflection, history quickly becomes everyone's favorite...

...I can, and I also volunteer to teach SAT mathematics (a subject in which I have a geeks need to study and learn more about all the time!). I have a new-found interest in art after teaching "Learning to Look" for my son's class. I've been known to race my students to finish math puzzles, I read whenever I can, and I like to participate in warrior dash races. In addition to my experience and...

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.

...students' specific interests. In addition, student teaching at the middle school and high school level has further strengthened my understanding the individualized support students need to succeed. These past experiences also granted me the opportunity to work with gifted learners and students with various learning capabilities and learning styles.

...see what types of tutoring methods best fit their needs. In my experience tutoring, studying for, and taking standardized tests, I learned that there are several different ways to answer the same question, which is what I love the most about tutoring for the SAT and LSAT. It is my goal to show and explain the various methods of answering these questions, therefore giving them the tools to select the method(s) that they find the...

...and its rich history. Math was difficult for me as a child, however now as an adult I see why I had trouble and feel I can help students who are having the same difficulties that I did. I describe my tutoring style as fun and interactive. I believe that learning in any subject can be enjoyable, even though it may be challenging. I like to use manipulatives for a hands-on approach to learning in...

...personal life and when I teach. "You have only mastered a subject when you are able to teach it." Now that's not the exact quote, but the idea still follows. I believe that someone doesn't truly know what they are doing until they are able to teach it to someone else, and that goes with how I like to teach in so much that a lot of how I teach is for the student to...

I believe that...

I currently teach first grade. I love teaching all subjects but teaching reading is my favorite. I love seeing students learn to truly enjoy reading and making it fun rather than a struggle.
