...wanted to pursue a degree in the dental field. My desire to pursue a career in dentistry began in high school where I developed a love for science. I recall going home and repulsing my family by describing, with details, the dissections we had done in my anatomy class. I always received bewildered looks, but I needed to tell someone; I could not keep all this knowledge to myself. It then dawned on me that...

...and helping others understand concepts that they have struggled with. The feeling when a student "gets it" or the "lightbulb" moment is one that is very rewarding I feel it is one of my callings in life to help others overcome their difficulties. The purpose of teaching is not to pour information into the minds of students, but to invite and inspire the student to apply the knowledge to multiple situations and be inspired to...

...language grew and so did my love for teaching during my time as a subsection instructor. It was great to develop good relationships with my students and to help them not only pick up a foreign language, but also truly enjoy the process. Since I've studied Spanish as a foreign language, I understand exactly what students are going through. I always try to apply what worked for me in an attempt to help the students...

...with the rest of my time, I like to volunteer. I am also in the process of becoming an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant in Physics.

I also love football; I'd mention my favorite team, but why become enemies right...

...Spanish. And through our debate program, for my sophomore, junior, and senior years, I mentored students new to the activity. I have always seen helping other students as an opportunity of growth, not only for that student, but for myself as well. I feel that I am qualified to tutor all middle and most high school levels of math, chemistry, and Spanish. As for standardized tests, I am most oriented towards the ACT. My favorite...

...subject areas, I am so excited and grateful to be a part of the online learning community. As a lifelong learner myself, I have engaged (and continue to engage) with many teachers and tutors in and outside of the classroom. Beyond the invaluable knowledge they impart on me, every teacher has something unique to offer when it comes to how they teach. Some teachers primarily engage their students in tutorial or Socratic-seminar format. Others believe...
