Instead of simply showing students how to do a problem, I always try...

There is an old saying: “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” It would...

...I first began to tutor when I was 17 and I quickly realized I was a natural teacher, but more importantly, I discovered I truly enjoyed teaching. For the 3 years I attended law school, I tutored college students in English, Psychology, Literature, and a variety of other subjects.

I have found great joy in teaching, and for the time that I am with a student, nothing is more important than...

I love engaging with subjects that educate us on how we as individuals structure our world and view ourselves. This love has developed into a passion for writing, literature, and numerous genres of history as I find that these subjects truly articulate who we are. I find that greatest way to teach any material is by demonstrating that the subject is not just isolated...

...SAT prep. When I'm not working with students, I spend time with my camera. I'm an amateur photographer and especially love taking pictures of the beautiful PNW landscape and furry four-leggeds (mostly dogs and cats but the occasional wilderness furball too when I encounter them on my hikes). I enjoy hiking (it's more like nature walking with slight inclines occasionally!). I, of course, love to write and read as well as make art (a lot...
