...I apparently aspire to have a resume similar to The-Most-Interesting-Man-In-The-World's. As a teacher, I try to "guide learning" rather than just reciting facts or "teaching at" a student. I believe that discovery is the most exciting way to learn as well as the best method for producing long-term recall; it also tailors every learning experience to the individual student. I was most inspired to pursue this Socratic style of teaching after taking several courses in...

...the majority of my four years there working in the math tutoring center. I loved being able to work one-on-one with students and see their growth as they started to understand the material.

...interest in learning about how the world works are wonderful qualities in a person. Many children say they hate school and it is just because they are having a hard time understanding the material and how it will apply to their lives.
