...Because of that, I'm extremely comfortable with online communication/learning. I've had to learn a lot about self-teaching, and learning in unorthodox ways.

...of Fine Art in Ecological Architecture. Both schools I attended were quite small and I thrived on the personal attention. I brought that along with me into my teaching; working one-on-one with students is a vital ingredient to their success. Over 12 years of teaching, I have received much personal gratification from watching firsthand the growth and development of my students. Learning should be fun, with delicious little moments of satisfaction that we want to...

...empathize with the same learning difficulties I had. Some "beginning" courses are really hard and deal with problems no one could solve until the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries! People, esp Professors and teachers, need to see some of these problems from that perspective. Finally, I am not interested in simply doing someone's homework for them, but in helping them learn concepts and application -- to get the best grades they can get.

In the history classes I teach, I ask students to think about how global developments in politics, economics, and science have shaped the lives of individuals and societies throughout time.

...1st and 3rd also. Working one on one with students is something I wish I could do more often and joining the Varsity Tutors team seemed like the perfect opportunity. As a teacher I have experience is creating assessment questions and take great care in making sure my students don't just learn how to do it but also why they need to learn it. This way, they take pride of their own education. I look...
