...needed skills in a clear and effective way. My ultimate goal is for my students to achieve their goals and become more confident in their abilities. If I can play even a small role in a student's success, it is highly gratifying. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you.... My philosophy is to help students gain the confidence they need to make the subject matter less difficult for them. Overcoming the fear of the subject itself goes a long way to helping students succeed. I have learned that demonstrating more than one way of solving a problem can help students better understand the underlying concepts. That understanding will help build their confidence and make them stronger students.

...Ph.D. in Theatre from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, a masters degree in Educational Theatre from New York University, and is an honors graduate of Lewis and Clark Colleges theatre department in Portland, Oregon. In addition to my background in theatre, I regularly work with students to improve their writing and research skills.... I subscribe to a dialectical approach to education that relies on a myriad of voices and different perspectives in the classroom, and I believe that learning and teaching function best in a collaborative environment that values mutual discovery and collective reflection. As an educator, I structure all my interactions with students--be they in the classroom, in one-on-one advising sessions, or in the rehearsal hall--around the premise that I have as much to learn from them as they from me. In his work, Paulo Freire espouses the idea of the 'unfinishedness' of the individual learner; the constant state of revision that takes place as people continue to develop their understanding of themselves and the world around them. Like Freire, I see education as a partnership between teacher and student; an equal partnership where both parties continually learn, adapt, and influence each other. Education, therefore, becomes a process and not a goal; it is something that is never completed; a lifelong evolution of the mind. As an educator, I respect that process, and I hope to create an environment where students are able to revise and continually form their understanding of the world.

...the question before explaining the steps to answering the question itself.

...breaking the student out of their own limited worldview and encouraging them to adopt a very different perspective, my methods can be very effective because I seek to connect the material to the student's own experiences and interests. Without that connection, there can be no motivation and without motivation there can be no learning.... My teaching philosophy is based, first and foremost, on sparking an interest in the subject matter. Whether it's turning history from a monotonous recitation of names and dates into an epic narrative of adventure, or breaking the student out of their own limited worldview and encouraging them to adopt a very different perspective, my methods can be very effective, because I seek to connect the material to the student's own experiences and interests. Without that connection, there can be no motivation, and without motivation there can be no learning. I very much believe in an interdisciplinary approach to understanding any subject, and often employ a variety of methodologies in the classroom. I am also fond of employing unorthodox teaching methodologies, including roleplaying, crisis simulations, and games.
