Hi! I am a recent college graduate --I majored in English (Creative Nonfiction Writing) and French--who now works full-time as a professional editor. I love languages, writing, reading, and being active whenever possible. While I have always had good grades and excellent test scores, I gain the most from application.
As for my learning and teaching style, I think that learning new material requires both mixing standard and creative study skills and finding a reason to learn the knowledge. I am patient and will take the time to make sure that someone is engaged and actually understands the concepts before moving on. I have worked in both conventional curriculum and gifted education settings.
I spend my free-time volunteering (I work with African Refugees), being outside (I taught outdoor living at a camp for years), and traveling (I lived in Luxembourg for a summer, and traveled every weekend). I love children, and genuinely miss being around them.
