Although I spend my days teaching in a classroom, I love moonlighting at a tutor because of the individualized attention that my students receive. I bring several years of classroom experience to the table, as well as a teaching credential from the University of Oxford and a BA from Northwestern University. While my classroom experience is in English/reading and history, my tutoring experience has been in everything from math to foreign languages. ... In short, I believe that education should be made as enjoyable as possible!

...have especially equipped me to teach writing, analytical thinking, logical analysis, and mathematics. I am also a part-time professor of philosophy.

...psychology I came to the realization that I did not want to be a clinical psychologist. I feel teaching will be a more fulfilling career for me; I am planning to be a high school/middle school math teacher.

...well. I was admitted early to Harvard my senior year, where I enrolled in Fall 2006. Long story short, my father was chronically ill, and I left school to help care for him. He required more care, and for longer, than anticipated, but it was not a choice I would ever reverse. And if, for now, qualities born of that experience must recommend me more than the usual benchmarks of achievement, they may be of...
