Being able to understand written word and being able to express yourself through written word are skills so essential to life that I really consider it a privilege to be able to help someone improve in those areas.

...can give us today, and one of the best things we can pursue for ourselves. All knowledge is connected, and rather than approaching a subject as simply that subject by itself, everything we learn opens new doors for our minds, and into subjects we sometimes never knew about or never believed to be as intertwined. For example: is it simply coincidence that the studies of astronomy and philosophy tend to happen at the same time...

...playing video games, and most things involving science fiction or fiction, including Harry Potter. That being said, working hard is what has gotten me to where I am today, and is always something I try to instill in the students that I work with. I believe in a balance of work and play, but when I'm with a student and we're working, we will work hard. I believe it is important to enjoy what you're...
