I'm a retired professor who taught statistics for many years. To be a good citizen these days, you have to know a little statistics, because many people will try to convince you of many things with statistics, and you need to be able to separate the truth from the lies....

...I spent my summers teaching ESL classes to foreign exchange students. My students ranged in age from 12 to 18. The most rewarding part of the experience was witnessing the moment when minimum skills turned to competency, or competency turned to fluency.

...tutor foreign languages. I have traveled many places and been around many cultures so I feel this has made me a stronger teacher. I like to push my students while tutoring, but I like to make sure my student feels comfortable and are not afraid to ask questions if they are unsure of something.
