...and an appreciation for literature are the most important tools one needs to carve out a meaningful existence in this life. As Dr. Seuss so aptly put it, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” When I'm not teaching, I am either reading (surprise!), working on one of my blogs, or cooking something delicious. I look forward to meeting you!... I believe in the teacher as facilitator. I strive to help my students unlock their intellectual potential by making them think critically. When students achieve their capacity for critical thinking, they achieve far more than they would simply memorizing facts by rote. I think of the "teach a man to fish" analogy.

Each of us experiences the world in our own unique way. Understanding how others experience life is a passion of mine. Learning is merely an opportunity to understand how someone else views the world.... Learning is merely an opportunity to understand how someone else views the world.... I want to know what the student is passionate about.... An independent learner is anyone who is simply motivated by what interests them.... I like to start from a subject, hobby or interest that already motivates them, then fit the struggling subject into this framework.

...subjects and in preparation for the ACT. If there's one life lesson that my college career taught me, it's the importance of critical thinking not only for success in the classroom, but success in life beyond the classroom as well.

...immediate and clear. Tutoring allows me to take a lifetime of interests and knowledge and use them, in a manner suitable for each student, to create learning. While able to tutor in many of the social sciences, I enjoy teaching in the history areas, especially American and Modern European.

...memorize a textbook. In this way, I agree with William B. Yeats in that "education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." I empower my students to seek answers on their own and develop their critical thinking skills. As a tutor, I structure my teaching around the student's individual interests and needs.
