...to teach, which I attribute to my love of books and literature. The teachers I have had who have stood out to me all had common characteristics: they presented their subjects in a way that caught my interest. clarified difficult topics and led me through complex problems, and put knowledge into context that was relevant to me and my life.

In doing so, I adopt bell hooks's concept of "engaged pedagogy" to help my students realize their power and agency in the classroom.

I believe that an educator must first appreciate how each individual student approaches a new concept in order to understand the most effective means for that student to progress, and for this reason, I place the utmost importance on the student rather than the subject. When I am not tutoring or substitute teaching, I enjoy playing guitar, watching football and writing fiction.
