Hobbies
While teaching in Bulgaria this past year, I had the chance to travel quite a bit around Europe and immerse in some unique cultures. I enjoy traveling to new places and meeting new people who offer different perspectives on similar topics. I like tutoring because it often resembles this experience. I enjoy tutoring in a style that pushes students to go beyond completion of homework in order to establish an understanding of the subject matter and the ability to use this knowledge in other facets of life. I also like to tutor while having fun and talking with students about every day high school life.
