...part of my job. I strongly believe that, teaching a student the "why" of something is far more important than simple memorization; it is this understanding of the material that helps the student apply the theory to a completely different fact pattern. While I tutor students in a broad range of subjects, my passions are towards reading/writing and mathematics. In my spare time, I enjoy creative writing, reading, football/hockey (cheering loudly, not participating), and strategy...

That being said, I look forward to the opportunity that will present itself through this company for me...

...Elementary and Special Education, I am now on the other side of things, with a great realization of just how much is being asked of students.

As a teacher in the classroom, I'm dedicated to helping my students grow in their abilities, whatever...
