...the student. Outside of school, I enjoy watching sports (of course I'm a little partial to the Jayhawks, Royals, and chiefs), reading, video games, and also trying to work in some volunteer work in the local area. Overall, each session should be entirely about helping the student attain success in the subject by teaching them in a fashion they can understand. I never liked teachers who had a rigid learning approach; it is well known...

...Medieval British history. While in College, I taught a group of 9th grade students at a local synagogue. My class focused on the role of women in some of the most pivotal stories in the bible.

One of my main goals in life is to make education and literacy something attainable and worthwhile (and fun!) for all people.

...are very basic principals that remain true no matter how advanced you are in school. Though I have always done well in school, I really started applying myself once I found my life's passion in college.

With both perspectives I have the ability to get through to students who aren't taking school serious. However, I...
