...teach. The feeling of pride in someone else's accomplishment, the intellectual challenge of explaining a concept to someone else, the joy of seeing when it clicks in the student's head...those are only a few of the benefits that I get from teaching. I work tirelessly to tailor my lessons to my students' personal learning style to ensure their success, and I'm grateful for every opportunity I have to help students through teaching and tutoring.

...and Political Science. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but as a future graduate student in history, I am strongest and most passionate about that field and the discipline perhaps most needed to be successful in it: writing.

...learn. No two people are the same. No two people learn the same way. My mission is to help my students discover how they learn best. Then, we can use that information to develop a strategy to conquer any material. Along the way, I reinforce my students' efforts with my own experience as a professional student and life-long learner. With a little help, there is no reason that a motivated student cannot learn and succeed.
