I really can't get enough...

...study and teach, however, it is such a interdisciplinary study that I find myself constantly studying literature, politics, government, essay writing, etc. I am always fascinated by the stories of civilization and its development.

Outside of academia, I enjoy playing soccer, hiking, and staying up to date on the latest technology which...

...learning. Sadly, this phenomenon disproportionately affects poor communities where quality education is some-times lacking. Neglect, poverty, 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...

...core of my teaching philosophy is the idea that anyone can learn anything, so long as the instructor is willing to teach to the student's style of learning.

Then, I had a very patient teacher who helped me figure out how I could learn math, and it...

...recite the content of his subject. I intend to encourage and motivate each one of my students to perform academically, at a level no less than their very best, yet there is much more to teaching than just making certain that students answer questions correctly on a test.

I prefer to guide students through their problems to help them learn the skills needed for...
