Experience Summary
Growing up in a teachers’ family, I was fascinated by the great questions of life, which got me interested in studying the interaction between science and philosophy. For the past twelve years I was employed in various capacities from teaching Greek and Hebrew at both graduate and undergraduate levels to running a Math Tutoring Center, to teaching full-time various College courses in Religion. Regardless of my day job, however, I have always found time to volunteer and help people around me develop their language, reading, and Math skills, few things matching the satisfaction of seeing a young mind… getting it!
Teaching Style
No two human beings are alike. No two minds are alike. Teaching forty students at a time may have its economical advantages, but very few real learning assets. True teaching happens only on a one-on-one basis and it boils down to a process of guidance that takes in account the student’s own intellectual make-up. It is essentially a mentoring process that allows the student to use his or her own strengths in … getting it, as opposed to using “one size fits all” formulas that only damage one’s self esteem and love of learning. Patience may be at times the name of the game, but if we want to shape minds and not cripple them, the game is worth playing.
