In addition to working and applying to graduate schools, I also...

...enriching experience. I treat each student as if they were my son or daughter, making sure they are in a comfortable and safe learning environment. I love to think outside the box when it comes to planning lessons, applying student interests and hobbies when possible. This act gives each lesson my personal touch. I believe communication is key when building that student-teacher bond. The more communication there is, the more trust is earned. If the...

...those in need, coupled with my desire for meaning is what sparked my unchanging ambition in pursuing a career in medicine. While many experiences have played a role in confirming my desire to become a doctor, perhaps the most pivotal moment came one afternoon in the damp heat of the Dominican Republic.

I have experience working with students in English and Anthropology/Archaeology classes.

I believe teaching is a team effort, so I check with students periodically in each session to make sure they are following along. What works for one student might not work for another, so I'm always trying out new techniques that match the unique strengths of each individual student. I look forward to helping you reach...
