My students have included elementary school students just barely gaining an appreciation for reading, first year college students seeking assistance in essay writing, and adult learners wishing to advance their reading skills after years of struggling. I understand that everyone learns and builds confidence differently and, therefore, I tailor my lessons to suit individual needs. I have gained my students'...

...long-term recall; it also tailors every learning experience to the individual student. I was most inspired to pursue this Socratic style of teaching after taking several courses in college from a professor who had perfected the technique. The majority of his class-time revolved around asking us questions that led us to the points he was trying to make. While not everything can be taught purely in this fashion, I try to make my lessons focus...

...I approach every day of instruction with this in mind. Only through cultivating these relationships and understanding our students can we truly impact their lives. Without these bonds, meaningful learning simply isn't possible. Of course, if we truly care about our students, we must be properly equipped to help prepare them for the educational standards they must meet, and more importantly, life after high school. I love English; the big questions it grapples with, its...

I fully believe in the concept of guided learning, which means I will do my very best to give you the strategies and tools that you need to find the answers yourself. Second, that your goals are outside of the classroom, therefor all learning should be anchored by something that isn't abstract. In...

...are approaching their task with no preparation. I would also like to aid in the development of strategies that are applicable to general assignments instead of focusing on learning a subject simply to get a certain grade on a test.

I have continued to improve this skill and...
