"I am a student myself, working toward a master's degree in advanced education management and leadership. I take learning very seriously. As for my teaching/tutoring methodology, I would say I believe in assisting students to learn how to be lifelong learners using critical thinking. It is part of my teaching philosophy, and so it is my goal to teach students how to ask questions, not only of me but of the world around them. I have taught students in Asian countries, the US, and across Europe, and one thing stands out- the critical thinking and imagination necessary to truly succeed in this world are not being taught in the traditional classroom.

In order to teach critical thinking in all subjects, I love to use games, audio, video, role-plays, discussion topics, props, etc to assist students in their learning. I am a firm believer in edutainment, and I believe if we are being entertained while we learn, not only is it easier, but it is also more fun, so we want to do more of it! When working with young English learners, I find that songs with videos really enhance the lessons teaching new vocabulary and grammar, and with math, when we learn certain "math magic", we discover that math isn't something to be afraid of, but rather a source of fun! I have helped students of all ages and abilities learn and perfect their English, reading, writing, math, science, and test-taking abilities, and I would love to help you!

I am very easy to reach, and I will respond to any and all questions as quickly as possible! Thank you for your time, and I look forward to seeing you during a lesson!" less...
