...now I'm foraying into test prep as well. I'm currently working as an Editorial Assistant for the Indiana Legislative Services Agency, so I edit state bills for grammar and punctuation, to make sure the law looks neat and tidy. I really can't get enough of the English language! In my free time I love rock climbing, kayaking/canoeing/swimming, yoga and running.

...easily to me, but I hit a wall with math in middle school and just never seemed to be able to get it to 'click.' Then, I had a very patient teacher who helped me figure out how I could learn math, and it was like the wall crashed down. I would love to see every teacher have to teach his or her worst subject for a couple of years, in order to figure out...

...and policy have left our nations public schools lagging behind in a perpetuating cycle of underachievement. In my few short years as an educator, however, I am beginning to understand what is effective in alleviating this problem at the individual level. I strive to create a classroom that is a safe place for positive self expression where there is a joy in learning. More importantly, I strive to be a stable and supportive authority figure...

I try to make tutoring as productive and fun as possible.... In a first session I would try to find out the student's goal and assess what their current strengths and weaknesses are in regard to that goal.

...in a way that is most beneficial. It is true that many of the best students scarcely need a teacher. History abounds with examples of men and women like Abraham Lincoln who rose to the pinnacle of human intellect and capability more or less without any need for a teacher. Unfortunately, these people are the exception by far. Most of us do need guidance, and that is why people like me have a job. Again,...

With the simple tools I had available to me: pen, paper, books, and a microphone I was able to help literally hundreds of students conquer math questions they never thought they could, and helped these students not only finish their homework, but assist them in obtaining a firm grasp on the topic, essential for long term success. Because...

...for how creative and invigorating it can really be. I tend to spend just as much time giving my students confidence as I do actually teaching them. I have found that without doing this, most students will understand everything, but they will retain nothing. So in the end, it doesn't help them to sit through all the tutoring and put forth all the effort unless they are confident that they can do the work on...

...extensive history of volunteer work that involves all ages. Many of these experiences required teaching or assisting in a classroom. I enjoy working one-on-one with students and getting to know their personal strengths, weaknesses, needs, and learning styles. Using this knowledge, I tailor my tutoring for each individual student.

...patiently teach them the basic skills they need to surmount their immediate obstacles, while at the same time laying the groundwork for future achievements that in some cases they or their parents would have thought impossible. In our society, it is unfortunately the case that classroom instruction is often ineffective. In my view, the main reasons are a lax classroom environment that does not promote learning; low expectations; and unfortunately, a relatively low standard of...

...literature, politics, government, essay writing, etc. I am always fascinated by the stories of civilization and its development. I am passionate about learning proper writing styles and techniques as it appears to be one of the major issues with current students.

My greatest strength is assisting students get more organized and take better notes when they are in class to facilitate how they study and practice their material outside the classroom. I am bubbly, persistent,...

...force feed. I have loved learning in a variety of subjects throughout my academic career, and I strive to instill a similar love in those with whom I interact. I enjoy both the puzzle aspects of STEM subjects and the ability the literary arts have to make me believe I am watching events unfold in another time and place. When I'm not learning, I enjoy working with my hands. I've built a variety of furniture,...
