...and written about prison education, cultural studies, and art criticism. My goal as a teacher is to help bring my love of composition, history, Chinese, and many other subjects to students who want to expand and solidify their own knowledge. I am also a contributing editor of the magazine Guernica where I work with writers on pieces about things like virtual reality, democratic activism in Russia, and the history of apartheid in Namibia.... I believe that all students benefit from a personalized approach to learning. Teaching requires both a profound understanding of the subject matter on the part of the teacher, and an equally intense desire on the teacher's part to find the most effective way of working with a given student. I prefer to use Socratic methods in teaching; using questions as a way to delimit and build a student's knowledge is a highly adaptable tool.

My aim as a tutor is to help students to achieve their personal potential so that they feel confident with the subject material and learn skills that help them to learn independently through their future studies.... My teaching philosophy is to help students with the course material by guiding them to a point of understanding and confidence with what they are learning. I feel it is most important for me to help students figure out a process of finding the answers without blatantly telling them the answer, as well as encouraging them to develop good study habits and a confidence in their own abilities.
