I am a graduate of both Northwestern University and the University of Chicago with over four years of experience teaching and tutoring at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels.

Teaching, for me, represents the chance to help students and peers find their way to new understandings. This might be as simple as a better way to find "x" or as complex as the next great thesis on Shakespeare. In the end, it's all about finding the heat in whatever subject is being explored.

I want students to be motivated...
