...school. When I tutor, I'm hoping to empower students to think and analyze to find their own solutions. I don't want to show them the right way to do things, but rather the right way for THEM to do things. Our brains work differently, and we find the same right answers in different ways! Like your typical millennial, I enjoy traveling, but I've really made a full time life of it. Since college, I haven't...

Looking forward to working with you...

...in order to provide the best care to undeserved populations.

I attempt to tutor students in whatever way they learn best, even if I have to help them figure out what those methods...

I also enjoy sharing my traveling experiences with my students or suggesting a great book for them to read. This encourages my students to become life long learners as well.

...in class and regurgitate that information in a formal paper at the end of the unit? What a wake up call! For the last five years, I have been trying to live as a "faciliteacher" instead of an expert. I have followed the guidance of some phenomenal teachers, such as Penny Kittle, author of "Book Love", and Kelly Gallagher, author of "Write Like This: Teaching Real-World Writing Through Modeling and Mentor Texts". It is difficult....
