I've been lucky to have attended some fine educational institutions, though I don't come from the kind of background where such opportunities can be taken for granted.

Furthermore, while in college, I worked with an organization called MiTutor, which allows students at the University of Michigan tutor children in the metro-Detroit area for free. With this, I met so many...

...I taught essay writing to students who were in an in-between state: not quite full-fledged college students, but eagerly ready to leave high school and its rote ways of thinking behind. In the first weeks at Baruch, I realized something very important: we are always a little in-between places, and we do not altogether leave the "old" house when we move into the "new." I increasingly understood teaching to be less about the introduction of...

...incomparable art of reading profitably that first necessity to the tradition of culture, the unity of the sciences". In this vein, I believe that teaching careful and thoughtful reading is one of the most important assets that a pedagogue can give to a student, and simultaneously one that is often lost, particularly at a time when text is consumed in such a rapid fashion. I will always place an emphasis on it.

As a lifelong lover of language, I believe it is crucial to be able to express one's original ideas clearly and concisely.
