Sports is another passion of mine - baseball, football, basketball, you name it (excited for the start of March Madness and baseball season!). I also enjoy going to movies, cooking (Cajun - lived in New Orleans), reading, and hanging out with friends. Life, for me, is about three things: Faith, Family, and Friends (and sometimes I'll add Football).

I feel that my strengths as an educator are powerfully reflected in my ability to accommodate various learning styles, behaviors, and abilities while making learning an exciting, positive experience.

Moreover, I look forward to sharing this enthusiasm with the student so...

...someone who is a Nepealse immigrant that strived to receive higher education in the states, education is everything for me. However, I believe that the passion for education needs to come from within. Thus, when tutoring my students, I think it is crucial that the tutor teaches and shares their knowledge, but students also need to do their part. This includes being active learners and training their minds to be critical thinkers, which will help...

...to make the same mistakes. I also believe in the philosophy that learning should be fun and students should "want" to learn rather than "have" to. By understanding the applicability of what we learn to our personal/professional lives we can better relate and retain it.
