...teaching I am one who reflects often, thoughtfully, and intuitively. I believe that when working with student it is essential to help each student become reflective and metacognitive about their own learning. If students are reflective in their learning process they will be able to advocate what they need to continue learning, they will be able to understand how to seek out knowledge, and they will become life-long learners as a result.

I am a first year Neuroscience major at Georgia Tech! Throughout high school and college I have had experience tutoring students for almost all subjects offered in my school ranging from world history to calculus.

...the deeper meaning behind what they are learning so that they don't feel that they are learning just because they "have to."
