...instructor is willing to teach to the student's style of learning. Most subjects came easily to me, but I hit a wall with math in middle school and just never seemed to be able to get it to 'click.'

...a successful teacher will not only attain positive results in terms of increased test scores, but will also teach their students to think critically, lead effectively, and unapologetically strive to achieve their goals.

I believe in meetings learners where they are and finding where the frustration or struggle lie. Learning what needs to be studied and how removes the burden of having to know everything about every single subject. In a world full of instant access to information, learning how to find relative information and use it replaces pure memorization and repetition.

Learning can be a challenge, but that's ok. No one is great at every facet of school or of life. Asking for help when you need it is always the best option. I would love to help out any student struggling with the subjects listed on my profile.

Education stems from a variety of sources. Many Native American societies used it to teach their young valuable lessons learned in their lives and the lives of their ancestors that...

...first meeting with a student, I will assess the nature of their concerns with the subject. I will review with them the syllabus and their recent exams and assignments to identify the key problems. Problems might include study habits, difficulty with key concepts, and absorbing the sheer volume of material, among other things.

I am a recent graduate of Indiana University-Bloomington, where I majored in Political Science and Mandarin Chinese. This past year I studied abroad and worked in China with the Chinese Flagship Program.
