There is no better feeling than watching someone have a eureka moment of understanding, and I look forward to meeting and working with new students. As a Colorado native, I love spending my free time hiking and climbing my way through the...

...the material is the key to education. The teacher's job to identify and facilitate that connection and encourage the student's curiosity. People learn best when they want to learn. Information should be manageable and engaging and assignments should fuel a desire to learn more. To do this I will ask my students a lot of questions and listen carefully to all they have to say. My job is to show them the path to the...

...Chase Walker LaRue and I teach high school science in Salemberg, NC. I have spent time all over the United States and spent time studying in Colorado, Kansas, North Carolina, Mississippi, and Maryland. I think the best type of learning is accompanied by steps in developing real skills, and real personal quality. After spending time as a college athlete, a college advisor, and now a teacher, I have seen education from every angle. I look...

I started teaching Vacation Bible School when I was 13 and have continued teaching in many avenues, including swim lessons, CPR, and tutoring when I was in college.

I enjoy astronomy, photography, birding, geocaching (ask me!), reading, and exercise (especially racquetball).

...private, international schools in the London area, teaching a variety of classes from basic skills math to university-level Psychology, History, and Philosophy.

...has to do with breaking down the various perceptions and fears that can get in the way of us learning. I'll spend time convincing you that Algebra is something that not only will not ruin your life, but is instead something that can be easily conquered just as I'll work to convince you that you're entire undergraduate career will not be scuttled by your struggle to figure out standard deviation. Once we get the proper...

...thorough understanding. I make sure to relate to the student to create a comfortable environment, because after all, I was in their shoes just a short time ago. I also believe it is important to listen to the student's questions and concerns, and provide positive reinforcement. Finally, I look to stimulate interest in the subject by making connections to other ideas and giving real-life examples when applicable. In my free time, I like to stay...

...writing, and I worked with the YMCA as an elementary age tutor. I believe that learning is inherently a collaboration and conversation between student and teacher, and I love being a part of that conversation. My favorite part of teaching is the moment when students make breakthroughs; those moments of pride and understanding are what make teaching such a rewarding experience! In my spare time I love reading, playing my guitar, writing short stories and...
