Instead of recitation or simple coverage of lecture and reading material, my goal is to encourage students to consider differing viewpoints, feel comfortable expressing their beliefs, and reflect deeply upon how their values and learning style can translate to all work, both inside and outside of the classroom. Overall, I believe teaching and tutoring should foster skills...

...for a subject I struggled with. No one is perfect at everything, and learning how to ask for help will make you a stronger student and better prepare you for the real world. Self-improvement is what is most important here; not comparing yourself to others.

Education has the opportunity to enrich your life unlike any other endeavor. If you're anything like me, you've experienced academic failure.

I hope to help not only with specific learning goals but also to guide in the formation of tools...
