...courses. Whether I was helping my fellow classmates and friends in math class or seeking edits on my paper from a professor, I know what it is like to give and receive help. I challenge my students to not only find the answer but understand the process behind it (while still empathizing with the challenges that he/she/they may face). Furthermore, I know that not everyone learns in the same way, so I will also be...

...college, and I've been teaching ever since. After graduation I taught in four different countries: Reunion Island (where I learned to speak French), The Republic of Georgia, South Korea, and, of course, the United States.

...I was also a teaching assistant for a senior-level business writing course and did free-lance dissertation editing with the little free time I had left.

...in college and graduate school I worked extensively as a tutor and teaching assistant in English, History and essay writing, and I worked with the YMCA as an elementary age tutor.

I enjoy helping others. I am especially good at adjusting my lesson speed based on the student's level. I believe that learning should be FUN! Let's have a good time while learning together!... I feel that teachers need to be highly perceptive of the student's reactions while teaching. This means checking for understanding and never getting ahead of the student. An effective lesson is one that is geared toward each specific student in terms of their study goals, while also incorporating their hobbies and interests into the lesson. In such a sense, teaching methods need to be adjusted on-the-fly depending on the student. Another very important (and often overlooked) aspect of teaching is that it should be FUN for the student. I believe that people retain the most information when they are having fun. If someone can associate "fun" with learning, they will want to learn more and study harder!
