Experience Summary
I graduated high school in 2001 and spent three years abroad in Japan, teaching English as a second language. Afterwards I completed my undergraduate education with a BA in economics and math. While attending college I worked my way through school tutoring both math and economics classes. Upon graduation, I started my post graduate career at the University of Georgia, earning my Masters Degree in Economics. Ever since graduating last December, I have been working as a full time teacher, teaching AP economics classes and math classes while working part time as a GRE and GMAT instructor. I have extensive experience in both teaching and tutoring, and would be an excellent asset to you institution.
Teaching Style
I believe in following the Socratic method in my teaching, and encourage students to ask questions and take command of their own learning. Frequently I will have the students take turns presenting problems or answers to questions that they have asked me themselves in class before. I've found that occasionally the best way for a student to learn is to have them research the answers to their questions on their own, and present their findings to the class as a whole. It is through teaching each other that students learn best.
