My preferred subjects are history, literature, reading comprehension, and writing, and I can tutor verbal sections for standardized tests including the GRE. My favorite subject, you may have guessed, is history, but I also have a long personal history learning foreign languages, and I feel that this contributes to my skill in teaching English reading comprehension. When I'm not teaching students or sitting in a...

This experience allowed me to work with all different types of people and helped me develop...

...abroad in the following fall. Humans are so lucky to have a capacity for reason, so we can explore the infinite content of the universe. I love to draw out that love for learning in students, even ones who seem to feel discouraged or insecure in their lack of understanding. All people have a capacity to learn everything from classical composition to theoretical physics. It's only a matter of perseverance and teamwork between tutors and...

...trainer and pre-sales engineer, I co-wrote a tutorial, created class materials, and made many technical presentations about "leading edge" software, and so became skilled at explaining complex concepts.
