...discussing the hierarchy of needs for a writer to keep in mind. Furthermore, it taught me to identify and address weaknesses ranging from the big picture to the smallest comma. This "on-the-job" learning gave me the supplemental appreciation for the various building blocks of language. (This was also helped by my adventures in learning Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. Nothing helps more than learning another language!) Hence, I was able to learn the nitty-gritty material, which...

...students in Hyderabad, India, and reading to rehabilitated refugee children in Arizona. After graduating, I instructed reading programs for the Institute of Reading Development, where I saw that, as my students' reading skills improved, their overall confidence skyrocketed. They became better students because they stopped feeling incapable and inept. This experience is the foundation of my tutoring philosophy.

...as an individual and to adjust my own tutoring to fit the way they learn best. I believe that all students have what it takes to succeed in school, its just a matter of finding the style of learning that is most effective for them.
