I studied abroad in Poitiers, France, which was one of the...

...and all data meaningless. In part through these laboratory experiences, I have learned that true understanding comes from the teaching of central concepts rather than brute-force memorization. In short, you don't learn THAT 62=3, you learn WHY 62=3, allowing you to find 82, 122, 93, and all the others (this technique can be extrapolated to many of the graduate test prep tutoring work I do). Similarly, I don't teach what the answer to a particular...

...an opportunity to influence positively how a student sees him or herself as a learner. Learning takes place over the course of a school year, semester, quarter, week, or in a five minute time frame (such as with a substitute teacher). The math problem or the causes of the American Revolution may be what the student is learning but the context of the situation is always making learning a positive experience for the student.... Learning is...

...highest SAT score in my school district when I was a junior (without tutoring, even!). I started tutoring the Verbal side of the SAT in Los Angeles in 1999. Then I branched out into the SAT Math and then into academic tutoring in many subject areas. I was tutoring celebrity kids in Malibu mostly at that time. Since then, I've tutored students from 1st grade to college in many different academic subjects, and always continued...

The life experience having lived in Ohio, California, Oregon, Canada, Brazil and Japan, in addition to traveling to various Asian and South American countries, has given me an appreciation for humans different from me. I want to learn from you too. I currently am working on learning Japanese and Mandarin at the same time....
