I love my students. I learn a lot from them. It is an honor to be invited into their lives. My students keep me young and give me energy.
I've helped students gain admission to law school. I've helped students gain admission to universities. I helped a student test out of college calculus. Every student comes with their own strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. I believe in getting to know my students well so that I know where they are coming from and so that I can target my approach to their unique needs.
I have been both a teacher and an attorney. I taught middle school algebra and geometry in the Western suburbs of Chicago. I worked as a substitute teacher in K-12 classrooms. I went back to school and got a J.D.. I scored a 164 out of 180 on my LSAT and qualified for a scholarship based on this high score. Actually, a tutor from Wyzant worked with me to achieve that score. As an attorney, I practiced in the area of real estate and foreclosures.
Some of the educational approaches I favor are problem-based learning, backwards design, and constructivism. I can explain these in detail if you'd like, or you can look them up online for yourself.
