"I am so adjective, I verb nouns." I believe relationships are more important than test scores, and people more important that numbers, budgets, or grades.

...word, so English is another favorite subject of mine. I generally approach tutoring as an opportunity to teach students how to study and learn rather than to teach them information directly. This means that I ask a lot of questions and help students find the answer on their own. Hence, my goal with tutoring is to help the student develop enough skill at learning to make the tutoring unnecessary. I am currently working toward a...

...to the world of theater. My sophomore year of high school, with several plays already under my belt, I discovered an appreciation for a writer that changed my life: William Shakespeare.
