I really believe in the power of being multidimensional and exploring new avenues of learning. With that mindset, I've engaged in domestic and international teaching/tutoring experiences that have helped to shape my perspective on education as a whole, including stints in Thailand and Costa Rica, along with student teaching in Chicago Public Schools.

I maintain an educational philosophy that gives credence to the idea that creativity and enthusiasm are crucial in helping a student to not only understand curriculum, but also to enjoy the learning process itself. I use teaching methods that involve linking subject matter to modern-day examples of everyday things that students are familiar with. This is especially important when dealing with subjects such as history, civics, mathematics, religious studies, grammar, and literature.

World History

I majored in History, with an emphasis on world history in both ancient and modern eras. I also underwent an independent study with a central focus on South Asian studies, featuring interpretations upon issues concerning religion, society, culture, subculture, and subaltern studies.

Basketball

I played on both junior varsity and varsity basketball teams when I attended high school. I still enjoy playing the game and try to stay active in the sport when the opportunity presents itself. I definitely know the sport well enough to be able to teach it to someone who seeks to learn.

ESL/ESOL

I completed a TEFL certification course at the TEFL Corporation in Phuket, Thailand. This course involved 120+ hours of rigorous study and 9+ hours of observed in-class teaching. In addition, I also volunteered as an English tutor for adults through Read To Learn in Palatine. I feel I have the necessary background and foundation with which to tutor an aspiring English language learner.

Chess

I learned to play chess during my middle school years. Although I no longer play it at the pace and consistency as I once did before, I still manage to get a game or two in every other week or so. I've taught the game to a few individuals in the past and I believe I'm well versed in chess strategy/vernacular in order to competently teach it a prospective learner.

Social Studies

I completed my bachelor's degree in history. In addition, I've taken a number of classes in fields concerning political science, religious, studies, psychology, and economics. My graduate work also included focus upon individual/group psychology/sociology as it pertains to education in both middle school and high school settings.
