I am passionate about education. I believe that critical thinking is important on an academic level, but also in our personal lives; the ability to reason through a problem and understand the flow of an argument will help any student inside or outside the classroom. As a teacher, I aim to build confidence in my students and decrease anxiety about any difficulties that may arise with the subject matter. I do not believe there is any such thing as a bad question, and strive to make sure my students understand the "why" behind a solution so they can apply those principles in the future. I'm experienced in teaching the entire LSAT, and particularly enjoy the logical reasoning and analytic reasoning sections.

Q & A

What is your teaching philosophy?

There are no bad questions! Asking a question is the best way for me to see how you are thinking about a problem, and helps me understand how to best explain the solution.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

In a first session I like to give my students practice problems to gauge what problem areas may exist; I also want to give my students an opportunity to voice any concerns they have about the material.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

The best way to learn independently is to find something that interests you personally about the subject matter; in addition, setting a study schedule and making sure you are accountable to your schedule is extremely important.

How would you help a student stay motivated?

The first rule of learning is: don't get caught up in negative thinking. Just because you don't know how to do something now doesn't mean you can't learn it. Breaking a problem down into smaller problems that are easier to digest is a great way to build confidence and make progress in your learning.
