...deciding how we present information to students. Similarly, the process of formulating an essay reinforces a set of problem-solving skills and everyday logic that makes decisions in daily life easier. Informally, I think of this as "learning how to learn": being invested in the stories we read is important, though communicating to students why those stories are important is even more critical. I co-host a monthly bilingual book club with a friend from university. Together,...

...others to solve certain problems is in many ways more gratifying than coming up with a correct answer to a problem yourself. In a similar vein, while it may be clich (though just because something is said a lot doesn't mean it's trite), helping others come to understand a point of view they didn't hold before or aiding them in the development of a new skill is an incredibly satisfying experience. My hobbies and loves...

I'm a writer that believes deeply in the power of reading. A good writer is an excellent and dedicated reader. It's my goal to help more people to fall in love with reading and find their voice as a writer. This happens through learning to love to read - and not just the classics. I believe in helping individuals foster a relationship with literature, which in turn allows them to write at a high level.

...not only to help my student understand the material, but also to help him/her be confident in his/her work. I want every student to firmly believe that he/she can do anything, simply because it's true. Through their education they may do anything in the world, they need only to try hard enough. I don't want students to give up on their education or even themselves because "it's too hard" or they "hate it." I want...

It is my hope that my students...
