...public speaking, or standardized testing, I believe I can help! No one is born with the ability to read, think critically, and write an essay that will get people to stand up and take notice. These are skills that everyone must be taught to become successful, and they can be learned. Students often think they...

...the subject at all, but the way it is being taught, a lack of study time or space, or even a completely unrelated frustration. My goal is to help people strengthen their study habits and deepen their thinking skills so that they can grow in true understanding and experience success. This usually means not providing...

...problem, usually a misunderstood or inadequately explained concept. Once I find the problem area, I can explain it as clearly and as simply as possible. If the student doesn't "get" the explanation the first time, I am willing to spend as much time on the concept as the student needs. In my spare time, I...

...Most importantly, I love learning and have come realize that it is my vocation to share and impart that love of learning in others. As beautifully put by Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca in his moral epistles: "[P]art of the joy in learning is that it puts me in a position to teach; nothing, however outstanding...

As I am a Summa Cum Laude graduate and member of the Phi Beta Kappa honors society, you may be assured of my competency in...

...recently returned from South Korea, where I taught ESL classes to a wide range of students, elementary-aged to adult. I have experience teaching in both classroom and private settings, and I delight in helping students reach their goals and find their voices in order to better express themselves in both speaking and writing.... A good teacher should first be able to foster a desire for knowledge, then facilitate the acquisition of that knowledge, and lastly, equip...
