Experience Summary
While still in high school, I tutored calculus students and became certified to teach swim lessons—including private lessons for all sorts of students, where I focused on each student’s specific developmental needs. After high school, I lived for two years as a volunteer in France and Switzerland, where I exerted every effort to master French, to appreciate the local culture, and to teach English to the natives. Now, despite having been admitted to one of my university’s most demanding majors (Neuroscience), I also pursue a secondary French major. French professors have recruited and recommended me to aid them in their classes, and I have helped even college-level French students to polish their skills in all areas of the French language.
Teaching Style
Progress and pleasure are my principal pedagogical priorities. For as capable as a child may be, she will often find no pleasure in learning if she makes no progress; for as much progress as a child may make, he will often stop trying if he stops finding pleasure. I will persevere with my entire faculty to find a way to make education joyful for my students—both as a journey and as a destination. There is a way to make learning fun for anyone, and the richest reward in instruction is seeing happy individuals—no matter how old they may be—achieve happiness by reaching their goals. My methods are highly structured and highly productive, but they are also fun.
