I think the competitive...

...focus now. I enjoy the richness of the English language and even the challenge of following all of the rules, punctuation, etc. The job of a writing coach is also very important. While we all learn from getting feedback about our composition, we also want to work with a tutor that can help us express our own ideas well. I am interested in helping each client with the key skills that will help them along...

...learners along their journeys. To stop learning is to stop living a meaningful and abundant life. I could no more stop breathing than stop inquiring about the world around me. It is for this reason that I teach others to appreciate and discover their love of learning. Leaning should be a joyful experience and not one of drudgery. Learning can build confidence in the learner to broach further information and then use it in their...

I found myself continuously drawn toward the academic realm, and in January of...

...math practice test questions to a series of 12 PowerPoint lessons. I agree with Einstein that "Creativity is more important than knowledge." Creativity is what changes the world, while knowledge is what preserves it. But, truly, knowledge is power, because it gives the educated person tools to solve problems as they arise from an unpredictable future. You may never use what you learn, but if you do not learn it, you will never have the...

Other than developing medical devices and teaching, I like to spend my time dancing (tap, jazz, ballet, hip hop, contemporary, bhangra), making art (painting, making comics, creating anything), and enjoying comedy (Louis CK, Bill Burr,...

...many have come before you and you are no less capable than them. Maybe we all can't be Einstein, but we can all learn to help ourselves and each other understand the world a little better. My philosophy is that every student has the ability to succeed, it just takes a little patience and compassion. With this philosophy, I have helped many students improve their grades and test taking abilities and have also guided them...
