I have a casual teaching style, one that I have kept with me since I was young. My parents have been phenomenal teachers to me merely through their nature, and in school, I have been extremely fortunate enough to have several outstanding teachers along the way who have inspired me further to teach. I like getting students excited about the work they do, and, particularly with writing, encourage them to think outside the box. I believe everyone is gifted in one way or another, and it is the job of the educator to find a student's gifts and enrich them. In this way, a student will be motivated to learn, particularly when it is in the realm of what they can relate to. Since middle school, I have been tutoring my classmates on a casual level. I have helped them with difficult concepts, taught them how to outline, and, continuing even now to law students, I have read numerous Research, Englis

My teaching style is very simplistic. I find that things make sense and become easier to do when you convey the instructions or operations in a clear and simple manner. I love breaking things down and explaining them, so that when the whole picture is viewed, it all makes sense. I am very patient and understanding. I am also very systematic and logical and try to teach in that way. During college, I tutored a group of my peers in several courses. Some of them being, but not limited to: small group communication, interpersonal communication, accounting, intermediate algebra, and multimedia and graphic design.
