...perceive the child's possibilities, to stimulate the child to learn, and thereby make the child's latent potentiality a reality.” When I taught elementary school in Korea, it quickly became apparent that Korean students were not being taught to question and think for themselves. Students in Korea were taught to memorize information. They were not taught how to think critically or to ask questions. They were taught to be obedient and to trust what their elders...

...the world around you is key to becoming a more successful learner. I am especially passionate about teaching students studying habits and organizational skills that will reduce stress around standardized exams. I believe that the best way to teach is by connecting my student's interests to the study topic so that they become invested in learning more about it. Discovering ways to love learning is the most important part of the education process.

...I have also worked with older children as well. When I was in high school I babysat the most precious triplets.

My teaching philosophy is to lead the student through the problem, and, as much as possible, to let the...

...confidence at the end. I had to use all sorts of methods: drawing cartoons, wildly gesturing (even though we were in a library) and coming up with all sorts of analogies.

...was six and have yet to stop. Apart from academia, I attempt to go outside, but I enjoy the comfort of my own home with books and tea and blankets. But when I do leave the house, I enjoy going rock climbing, walking aimlessly through parks, and trying out new restaurants. If I had a more fuel efficient car, I would spend a good deal of time going on road trips. I have also been...

...in my experience, supplementing them with games, songs, television shows, or anything else of interest to the student makes memorization and understanding much easier.
