Experience
I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Rutgers University and a Bachelor of Arts in Diplomacy and International Relations from Seton Hall. I love to teach, and believe that seeking knowledge and understanding is the cornerstone for a more fulfilling life. My teaching experience has also been a learning experience. Over time, based on that experience and my observation of successful teachers, I have created and evolved an approach that allows students the freedom to take charge of their own learning processes. I strive to empower each student to excel in the classroom and independently. I also believe that reading comprehension and comparative analysis are an important foundation for learning in any subject area, and thus should receive significant attention from every student. Solid reading and analytical skills will allow a student to develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter and a clearer sense of context. When students can explain material rather than simply regurgitating, they will perform better and have the ability to carry that knowledge over into other areas. My approach to teaching and tutoring is relaxed and communicative, encouraging participation and drawing out strong performances from each student. When I'm not working, I like to run, read, write, cook, and travel.
