At the Yale Autism Clinic, I...

I was born and raised in New York City but have firsthand experience with how challenging life can get when you're living in a place where the language, and consequently the culture, is foreign to you. In regards to education, being able...

...to learning styles and the varying needs of different students is something that I aim to do at all times; there is no one-size-fits-all method to learning.

Besides English, I speak (to varying conversational degrees) Spanish, German, and...

...them the types of questions they needed to ask. To me, this is the core of teaching towards understanding - teaching a student how to continue teaching themselves. There is a time and place for lectures and so-called information dumps. The real work for the student and the teacher, though, comes from the dialogue about why the material matters or how an idea works. Not that a historical event happened but what made it happen....
