...put on by my fraternity. We tutored underprivileged children in an after-school program in East Los Angeles. Later, while still an undergraduate, I tutored a wide variety of subjects from pre-school to college levels. Having studied engineering, my favorite subjects to tutor are mathematics and physics.

I tutored ESL to international students, taught fourth graders philosophy, and taught creative writing to juvenile delinquents. After I earned my BA in English, I left the...

...started a program of Small Learning Communities in my school to incorporate Math, Science, English and History in a fun and exciting way to show students that all subjects are related in the real world and have traveled around the country teaching this method to other schools.

...Asia and the Islamic World, emphasizing social and intellectual histories. Since graduation, I have striven relentlessly to distill the knowledge I accrued throughout my years as a student.
