...I generally approach tutoring as an opportunity to teach students how to study and learn rather than to teach them information directly. This means that I ask a lot of questions and help students find the answer on their own. Hence, my goal with tutoring is to help the student develop enough skill at learning to make the tutoring unnecessary. I am currently working toward a Bachelor's in Sciences in computer sciences from the University...

...Poetry (209). I love writing, language, and believe the practice of writing is intrinsic to understanding ourselves, and the many-worlds we are alive in. I am increasingly interested in compositional practices. I've experimented with how film and sound act as a processing event for elucidating feelings / textures / topographies language cannot. this inter-work (play) helps illuminate aesthetic and conceptual obstacles I can share with my students as they are learning their relationship to writing....

I also have earned certificates in Mandarin Chinese and Journalistic Writing through the military, where I graduated at the top of...

My goal is to make every student feel good about him or herself and feel confident about learning. Not every student learns the same way and I think that makes learning even more important. If we all had the same view point life would be...

Tutoring is an opportunity for me to welcome that joy back into...

...my life was passing on my love of reading to my children. Then, not too long ago, I became a professional educator, and this, too, has been a gratifying experience. It is my pleasure to pass on the love of reading and the love of learning to the younger generation.
