...and college, even while completing two unrelated Bachelor's degree programs, I began tutoring my own classmates, younger students, and even adult neighbors using a similar delivery style as my own teachers, albeit tailored to each student's individual struggles.

In graduate school, I had the opportunity to teach a semester of College Algebra, again peppering my lectures with idiosyncratic memory triggers. My students all...

...in order to help a student access the material on their own terms, in ways that make sense to them. I'm a strong believer in the idea that if you can find ways to relate to a subject and make it meaningful to you, working hard to get better at it can be a fulfilling, even fun undertaking, rather than a chore.

...university. There I tutored the Biological sciences, Nutrition classes, and Chemistry. As a tutor, I try to break the topic down into understandable pieces then build up from there. I also feel that it is very important to teach science using language that we can all grasp. Simply put, I really enjoy tutoring. Perception and problem solving are integral parts of tutoring. In my view, to be an effective tutor, one needs to be able...

During my time in Washington DC, I also worked for Kaplan to prepare students for the...

...lost my fluency in Spanish. It is something I one day hope to recover. I love everything about learning new things. I often think back to before I went to business school and can't imagine not knowing what I know now. It is corny, but knowledge really is power. For this reason I have fallen in love with teaching. It is the absolute most rewarding moment when a student learns something new. My plan for...
