Experience
I first realized that I loved teaching back when I was a high school student and I began tutoring a friend of mine in Latin. I discovered that I really enjoyed sharing my knowledge and working one on one with students. When I was an undergraduate student, I worked in the university's tutoring office. During graduate school, I discovered I had more of a passion for teaching others than for doing research. Ever since then, I have chosen to be involved in teaching and education. I have tutored students, worked at ITT Technical Institute as a math tutor, and served as a substitute teacher. I love tutoring Ancient Greek and Latin and have also discovered that I am comfortable and confident in my math skills. When I tutor, I remember my own struggles when learning new concepts, and I try to draw from those challenges so that I can relate to my students and the struggles they are going through themselves. I will work with my students with happiness and patience so that together we can solve any problem they might have. I enjoy seeing my students reach success and I can not wait to help them achieve their academic goals.
