I love working with students and it is such a joy to watch them learn. I understand that every student has different needs and learns things in different ways and at their own pace.

The students I enjoy working with most are teenagers. They are in a truly dynamic phase of growth, in that their intellects are blossoming in ways that are entirely new to them, while their emotions and bodies go through great and often difficult translformations. The power of these changes, along with their curiosity and insight, can be harnessed to create very exciting learning experiences. I have devoted myself to building learning environments that allow for maximum trust and respect between myself and my pupils; I am greatly interested in who they are and how each one of them learns.
I graduated from university in the top 2% of my graduating class, then went on to earn a masters in Comparative Literature. The Pennsylvania State University awarded my a graduate teaching fellowship for the duration of my masters studies. This fellowship allowed me to teach two college level cour ... read more
