My approach towards teaching is to focus on long-term learning: yes, we'll master tips, tricks and test strategies, but we'll also work on developing the key skills and approaches that will help you succeed in all areas. I truly believe there's no one method for success -- it's a matter of figuring out what works for you and understanding your own strengths and weakness. And, of course, doing a lot of work and...

...of students with different needs. I connected with them because I understood the struggles students face when language is a barrier. I was an ESL student myself in elementary school, so I understand the importance of patience and how that can shape a student's learning experience.

Even the most bizarre or inspired art - so I attest - comes from...

...life: the ability to improvise in unfamiliar situations, to persuade and argue effectively, and to formulate interesting research questions that eventually got me admitted to highly competitive graduate programs. There's nothing I love more than helping other students realize how much they personally stand to benefit from a good education, and that they should be making excellent grades not for their parents or teachers, but for themselves. When I'm not researching I like traveling the...
