...multi-million dollar private company. I now spend my spare time writing poetry from the heart and running a local car club. I reside in the enchanting state of New Mexico. I am often found under a hood of a car or traipsing in wilderness areas looking for wild herbs, studying geological formations and enjoying nature. I can also be found on FaceBook dispensing years of advice to younger generations and teaching students of all ages...

...a current graduate student studying Medieval Literature. I love reading and writing, which is lucky because I am also a college instructor! I am a huge Harry Potter nerd and I love hearing about everyone's favorite stories. I myself can tell you all about Irish folklore and mythology and even show you photos of the mystical castles over there. I love meeting pets and I would be happy to introduce you to my new kittens!

...over ten years of professional experience, on top of teaching in several different capacities for seven of them. I love working with students on a one-on-one basis, and use a warm, humorous approach to put students at ease and take the pressure off them so that they can learn without feeling stressed. I believe there is a solution to every problem, and there is no right way to learn something. People learn in different ways,...

...and a tutor for more than 10 years. I have tutored public and private high school students and college athletes at a Division I university. I have taught classes in a variety of subjects from high school to adults. When a subject -- like History -- is interesting to me, it gets communicated (like a virus!) to those around me. I believe that the stories behind the facts are the more interesting and can share...

...because I apply a *much* higher standard than typical American school teaching. The USA is slipping out of education rankings and the average American speaks 0.8 languages; we're not even at 1 language, including English! I believe people are much smarter than what they're given credit for, whether they're kids, tweens, teens, or adults. I have lived my life with ADHD (and you bet I work with students with ADHD), yet despite my diagnosis, I...

...in Colorado and love exploring the mountains around ABQ and Santa Fe. When I'm not outdoors, I'm usually reading, watching TV, or going to the movies. There's nothing like fresh buttered popcorn, right? My favorite film and novel genres include graphic novels, comedies, film noir, Shakespeare, mystery, and horror. I have learned there are so many great ways to explore language and know that having a command of the language will benefit any career path....

...study and engage with individuals outside of typical social norms. There have been a number of factors I have identified that lead to the realm of addiction; individual experience such as a breakdown in relationships, immigration, decline of mental or physical health, employment and more often a combination of all of the above: but also group experience which includes the feeling of acceptance, belonging, and a fear of being alone or rejectedwhich ends up happening...

...can achieve academic success. I will use creativity and alternative options to ensure active participation highlighting strengths and improving weaknesses. I believe students require a positive role model as their teacher, who is there to guide creative thinking. Students must have the mobility to recharge and improve learning connecting cognition with physical energy. Students who have an opportunity to use hands-on learning will increase their creativity and reach a higher level of thinking. Students need...

However, to pursue and continue working...

...method to test preparation, so that students aren't just following a test-taking strategy because they were told to, they are using that strategy because they were encouraged to discover it for themselves and they understand why it works. Ultimately, I enjoy teaching because both the student and I can simultaneously improve in a process that never ceases to make us better. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy pretty much any activity that gets me outside,...
