At MIT I have no teaching experience, but have worked with children for two years through Camp Kesem at MIT as mentioned in my application. I want to teach abroad for a few reasons. For one, I think that going abroad for a month and having the chance to experience another country’s culture firsthand through teaching is very exciting and unique. Secondly, I really enjoy helping people learn things, especially subjects that I care about. I would love to be able to tie these two things together through GTL.
