They say you "can't study for standardized tests." That may be true, but you can hone the skills needed to do well on them, and I have the experience to help you do just that. As a high schooler, I aced the SAT and took 9 AP classes; as a student at the University of Chicago, I developed exemplary writing and critical reading skills; and as a tutor, I learned how to convey those...... My role as a teacher is to help the student not just learn, but understand. I don't give students the answers; instead, I ask questions and engage their prior knowledge to lead them there themselves. Learning is an active process, never a passive one.

I currently work with organizations that intersect education, the arts, and the environment to bring student-led learning into the public education sector. ... I believe that everyone can learn. The trick is to find out the best ways for each person. They can include a combination of visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and oral. I also believe that whatever you are learning has to matter to you, so finding those connections are important.
