Bio
I believe students learn best when their mentor/tutor encourages their understanding of material as well as facilitates a space where risk-taking with new or difficult material is established. I hope to support students in their understanding and mastery of social sciences content. Throughout this process to develop skills needed for social sciences and beyond. Students learn best when encouraged and supported by kind and excited content-specialists. I strive for those gems as I work with students. I am a natural traveler and explorer having worked for international schools abroad in Ukraine, Colombia, Mexico, Taiwan, and South Korea prior to working fully online as an instructor for a cyber charter school.
