When it comes to larger projects I encourage students to work in a step by step process that helps narrow their focus and create a solid core to their work.

...also learned German, Latin, earned a psychology minor, and completed my premedical requirements. I have always loved learning, and get incredibly passionate about the subjects that I'm interested in.

I started tutoring professionally in 2002 while I was in college. In 2004, I tutored English, French, Latin, and constitutional government for Baylor University's Student-Athlete Services and stayed there the first two years of law school.

...and classroom settings. The greatest joy in language education is communication. I interacted with my students in multiple languages and we had the opportunity to explore different worlds just by talking.

I love the challenge of adapting my teaching...
