Over time, however, I developed a keener sense for the hurdles that students sometimes face when learning, as well as the most efficient ways to overcome them.

...a young learner gain confidence and independence in their learning skills and subject matter. My personal philosophy is that any subject can be fun, we just have to figure out how to make it so! My personal style is to use what the learner is interested in to make the subject more fun! Who says you can't use Pokemon to teach math, Minecraft to teach science, or Percy Jackson to teach grammar?

...I have learned that lectures are often difficult for students to follow. They can lose confidence in subjects because the information is not presented in a way that is effective for their learning. My job is to work with students to figure out the best way to learn challenging material.

...tutor their children for the SATs and the LSAT. More and more people asked me to tutor their children, so I contacted Varsity tutors to extend my reach to people who did not know me personally. My style is energetic and engaging. As a trial attorney, I routinely have to communicate complex matters to a jury that has no experience in the fields of chemistry, biology and physics. This forces me to adopt an engaging...

My senior year, I took advantage of the opportunity to reach more students, creating a small private tutoring company in Houston in which I served as lead tutor and conducted all business operations.

In addition to the aforementioned technique I also take creative and differentiated approaches to the material so that my students can relate to it from their own experiences, and have a broad understanding. In my spare time I love to hike, play Lego-Batman, play board and card games, and argue philosophical subjects or just about what is truly spicy or not...
