About

Most of my experience teaching students has been with special needs kids in teaching them daily living activities. In my three years as a special needs counselor, I worked with students who had a range of different ways of understanding the world and who challenged me to teach towards these different viewpoints. In this setting, I taught more fundamental activity skills like game playing and social behavior, and developed a keen appreciation for and flexibility to bridge communication and cognitive differences.
My love for language and understanding cultural and other differences inspired me to study anthropology at Brown university, with strong emphases in comparative literature and some exposure to linguistics. This past spring I graduated with my B.A. The experience of college has allowed me to develop solid academic research and writing skills through the long term papers that accompanied my courses and the ability to skim and synthesize highly dense theoretical material.
My experience has not only been as a student mastering complicated subject matter, but I have also had the opportunity to tutor ESL as well as tutor inner city high school students in writing.
When working with students, I hope to really engage the student in a comprehensive, straightforward, relevant and compelling lesson on the subject matter at hand. My emphasis is on active, interactive learning to foster true understanding, as it is my opinion that it is through this process that the student truly can own the subject matter as their own. Simply filling out worksheets or memorizing for tests is not my style, but instead I emphasize applications such as dialogues for language and real skill utility for seemingly obtuse or random SAT matter. |
