About Me

I am a current undergraduate English major at Harvard University. I firmly believe that teaching is an integral part to mastery of any subject, and also that it has intrinsic value in making the world a better place. I have taught argumentation and debate at the Harvard Debate Council summer workshops, and have developed and taught a political philosophy curriculum at the Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies in Greece. I love working with kids, and I read and write children's books and young adult fiction in my spare time (as well as poetry and adult fiction). I love exploring ideas in fields from Literature to Neuroscience, and have a lot of experience working and volunteering in libraries. I have a side interest in permaculture and systems design.

Q&A with David

I believe strongly that each and every student possesses an innate attraction to learning. I think that the best avenue to fostering learning is to activate a child's latent creativity and personal engagement to the topic, often by allowing them to choose the pathways and subjects that they wish to learn, with myself as a knowledgeable guide. This philosophy can be applied to any kind of learning, from test prep to school subjects. I think that lecture has its place, but in most instances only serves to turn off students to learning, and has to be kept to a minimum.
