What is your teaching philosophy?
I have always believed in the importance of the ability to get help in education. Going to class is only a small part of receiving an education--it also includes taking time to discuss, contemplate, and internalize the material. It is often very helpful for students, even those who excel in school, to have a tutor to reach out to in order to discuss new material. I want to help students not only reach their goals, but also exceed them and set new ones. There is nothing more satisfying than helping someone achieve more than they ever thought possible.
