After graduating with a degree in philosophy, my conscience left me with no choice but to find a job doing something meaningful. Like Aristotle, I think the ability to think for yourself is essential to living a happy life. Like Socrates, I think inquiry is essential to cultivating this ability. I love people and I love conversation. To engage personally while exchanging and inspiring ideas is, for me, one of life's greatest pleasures.... I strive to...

When I worked as a news editor at a radio station in...

...student from A to B is certainly critical, but what is even more essential is the 'aha' moment when a difficult problem clicks, a love for writing comes about, a passion is ignited, and/or inspiration is born. This is what makes a student a lifelong learner who doesn't shy away from a challenge or the unknown. I like to inject fun and humor into learning and am the product of some really excellent educators who...

...Honors College online. In May 2015, I will receive two Bachelor of Arts degrees in International Politics and French with minors in Geography and International Studies; completing my honors thesis in Geopolitics.

...Quality writing, speaking, and argument can only come with a full understanding of facts and context, and having that will distinguish my students over their peers. Tailoring the material to the student will be an important way for him or her to, not only, understand and retain the information, but also to apply it. There are many educational tools that are either not used in classrooms or are not suitable for groups, finding the right...

Teaching is the most rewarding job I've ever had. I love working with...

...(deciding to follow another passion of mine, television), tutoring helps me fulfill that need to help others and watch them evolve. I have always believed that too whom much is given, much is required, so having knowledge or skills and not sharing it, is not a notion familiar to me. Helping someone learn and understand a concept is great, but the bigger pleasure comes from showing them how to use the skills that they already...
