...said, “I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.” I come from a small liberal arts college in rural Oregon, Pacific University. I am great one on one tutor, especially with people that require a tutor with a lot of patience. My younger brother is developmentally disabled and is in the autism spectrum. School was always hard for him, and helping him was always hard for me. It wasn't until he and I...

...a wide range of vocabulary. Having taken advanced courses in both Spanish grammar and literature, I find that I can help students with formal grammar as well as with reading comprehension and composition. My strategy is typically to teach families of words rather than isolated vocabulary (the noun, verb, adjective, etc.) and to employ formal grammatical terminology only if the student enjoys that sort of thing. When it comes to teaching science, my strategy is...

My goal is to get my students to the point where they no longer need me. I like to focus on the underlying concepts so that students can apply what we learn in our sessions to problems they haven't seen before.

Concepts first, details later. 'Why' is just as important as 'what'.

...understandably required exceptional responsibility and preparation, and I met these requirements without incident. Previously I have held two positions in education. In the Grinnell in Prison Program I first tutored two teenagers who had suffered mental and emotional trauma, and later taught two semester-long classes with self-composed curricula to inmates at a local correctional facility. With ambitious subjects, namely Cell Structure and Ancient Greek Humanities, I successfully captured class attention during lecture and discussions, included...

...comfortable teaching Spanish up to a high school level. I have lived in Spanish speaking countries long enough to feel comfortable with my conversational skills. I'm hoping to reach complete fluency one day. My interests in academia are very broad, beyond my strongest subjects.
