...years of high school knowledge seems like an overwhelming amount to tackle. But unlike exams you may have taken in the past, the tests don't want memorization of times and places but the use of evidence to answer questions and draw conclusions. The math is around 55% algebra so that might need some review, but it is mostly Algebra 1 and, I promise, is manageable. You can do this. Hopefully, I can help.

...great teacher, you must be willing to be a great learner. All the great teachers that I have met were flexible, kind, and learners themselves. I try to bring these qualities to every class I teach. As a teacher for almost 13 years, I also believe it is important to adapt and change what you teach based off of your student's strengths and learning styles. Making each teaching experience unique to the person you are...

...on both sides of the wall. Much of the work I've done in the U.S. and in the Middle East has taught me so much about the complexity of people and the diversity of the experiences that contribute to who we are, what we value, what we believe, what we love, and what we fear. I am committed to continuing to "unlearn" stereotypes and make that a priority in my professional work and personal relationships....

...a concept I like to draw analogies to other things either I or the student are interested in order to demonstrate other approaches, and to show that the skills they're developing are applicable outside the assignment. In teaching poetry at the university level I've often reached beyond my knowledge of literature to my interests in movies, music, photography, theater, and nature to bolster lessons on poetic craft and interpretation. I've found that this approach creates...

...have taught high school English and earned a Master's degree in the Humanities. Teaching and learning are where I belong. Since high school, I've known in my heart that I want to be a teacher. It may have taken a circuitous route to return to that passion, but now I cannot imagine another job. When I tutor, I remember that high school version of myself. If I can teach you what my teachers taught me...

I am a storyteller by nature, and I believe teaching--regardless of the subject-- is storytelling at the core. Instead of tales of fantasy and fiction, however, these are stories about how the world works. Students like working with me because of my ability to communicate information in a way that they can understand (i.e. I tell the story they want to hear). I enjoy swimming, being outdoors, and pets.
