About Me

Experience Summary

As a Ph.D. level student in Sociology (ABD) with all exams passed, I have 2 years of successful formal teaching experience at the college level. In research papers I have demonstrated excellent grammar and writing skills. My linguistic training includes 5 years of Latin all of which makes me a very language conscious person. I have tutored students in German, English, French, Sociology/Anthropology. Furthermore I have extensive exposure to Korean, Thai, and Japanese. My multilingual training has sensitized me to inference-related problems of students from particular cultures. I feel equally comfortable teaching in group or one-on-one situations.

Teaching Style

I am patient, flexible, enthusiastic and friendly. I put the student first; the syllabus second. I do not want to lose the student and will backtrack to consolidate the fundamentals. I strive to avoid talking down to the student but rather encourage him/her with what they have to offer. I emphasize positives. My approach is explanatory rather than judgmental.
