...speaking. I teach much the way I was taught: learning to recognize my own mistakes. I will never give a student the answer, but I will help them realize where they went wrong so they can focus on their mistakes.

I work with students to recognize errors, and to help students...

During my time with City Year, I provided support to a class of 37 fourth graders; I co-organized and co-facilitated after school programs and school-wide initiatives; and I provided data-driven interventions in behavior, Math, and English Language Arts to fourth graders at risk of falling off track in those areas.

I specialize in general sciences, medical sciences, reading comprehension, literary analysis, and composition. I love working with students of all ages and I love to teach.... I love teaching and I love working with kids. I understand that a good teacher needs to combine perception, patience, persistence, and respect.

I believe passionately that education elevates both the student and the community, and I approach teaching with the seriousness and devotion that every learner deserves.

Every student (everyone, truly, for are we not all students?), in varying degrees of severity, learns differently, takes in the world around them differently, and manifests that information differently. No one teaching method could ever account for the infinite variable of...
