A student who simply masters the strategies and tricks might do great on the SAT, but the student who understands the material will do great on the SAT and continue to do great in college.

I have lived abroad in Mexico, as a student and also as a tourist. This immersion experience helped me to fully understand what Mexican culture is all about and is what gave me the extra push to Spanish fluency and cultural competency. ... I would...

...necessary; however, I am less certain about my ability to do so in a way that is as consistently useful. I prefer to think of tutoring in terms of helping a peer rather than the more hierarchical framing of teacher and student. Although the latter is technically also accurate, I find it less useful.

...about learning, and love to get people excited about it as well. I like to say that I teach "maieutically;" which comes from the Greek and means "to midwife, or aid in giving birth," in this sense, to an idea. I prefer to ask the student lots of guiding questions, instead of didactically infusing them with answers. This method results in what I like to call "intellectual exhilaration," in other words, the student is excited...

...understanding where they come from are soon forgotten. I balance this tedium with jokes and funny faces to make my students laugh. I have found that each individual's impediments to learning can be very different. I use compassion and dialogue to uncover the causes of anxiety or helplessness technical subjects can engender. My bachelor's degree is from UCLA, where I studied math and physics. My Master's degree is from Arizona State University where I studied...

...fresh perspective. In pursuit of this, I've traveled around the world, visiting places like China and New Zealand. There is so much value in a diversity of experiences through different cultures and beliefs. When I returned to the United States, I decided to earn my degree.

...that highly values education. Both of my parents have graduate degrees, and both of them are teachers.

I create an easygoing environment by being myself: I'm not a lecturer, and I'm not looking to feel smarter than those I teach. I'm just value successful learning!
