In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life,...

...the classroom. Also, other than teaching world history and yearbook currently, I am an avid musician spending much of my time writing and performing my own songs.

I also enjoy experiencing other cultures through food and travel.

...the present, the historical context of world events, and how to develop their skills in writing and analysis. Now that I have returned to my home state of Arizona, I would like to continue connecting with students through education, particularly in history, writing, and language.

How do you learn best? What is your learning style? How can I best help you learn more effectively? These are the questions that guide me when I sit down to help a new student. A mentor once told me that there are no learning disabled students, there are only teaching disabled instructors. I am always looking for new approaches to benefit every student better.

...base of the world increases dramatically. More than just adding to the cumulative knowledge of the past, some would say that information is increasing at an exponential rate. Currently, students are being asked to absorb this information; often without a proper structure or guidance as to how this can be accomplished. Having already made this journey myself, I am very excited to join Varsity Tutors and to help motivated students in their quest for a...

...accounting, math, and history. I believe the best foundation for learning is to be a well-rounded and constant reader, and will often recommend various books to read along with normal studies to enhance the educational experience. My basic approach is to break a subject down into its fundamental concepts and make sure the student has a thorough understanding of how and why what they are studying is important as well as the specific topic at...
