...motivated students lack the skills they need to maintain a strong GPA in college. To address this problem, I began to focus my high school tutoring on writing and critical analysis skills, and I worked one-on-one with some of my college students.

These skills enable you to succeed on standardized tests like the SAT, but also in English and humanities...

The quality I am most proud of in myself is my compassion, and as a teacher I believe that compassion and patience always come first. There is never room at the table for cruelty. Together, let's learn to learn, let's enjoy getting things wrong, let's figure out the puzzles...

...History but I am not tied to the pursuit of trivial facts that waste a lot of time in history course. I prefer to discuss the key ideas because I believe that if a student can understand a basic concept that he or she will succeed. I have access to numerous powerpoints and videos that will help my lessons interesting. Imagine Lady Gaga singing about the French Revolution or Taylor Swift with a song about...

...help students of different levels to understand course material, I do scaffolding assignments that build on each other. For example, in my "American Presidency" class, throughout the semester I asked students to find opinion articles about various aspects of a particular public policy issue, which could be integrated into bibliography for a final essay. Third, I help my students to build confidence with peer discussions (one student wrote in his evaluation that he for the...

...things students feel more comfortable with so it doesn't seem like I'm speaking a foreign language to them. I get a personal sense of satisfaction when someone stops and goes, "oh, I've never thought of it that way before - now it all makes sense." In addition, often times I feel the education system here is misunderstood and students spend too much time memorizing "steps" to a subject rather than learning it, and inevitably end...

As important as efficient studying techniques are, being able to kick back and relax is...
