I continued at college by volunteering during homework time at a local homeless shelter and working at the college writing center. After graduation, as jobs and family commitments allowed, I continued to volunteer, again at a homeless shelter through a Chicago Public School program."

"I attended the University of Chicago for my undergrad degree. There I studied Physics with a specialization in Astrophysics. I was very involved in the student physics organizations, published several papers about gamma rays, and traveled to South America to work on experiments. I then went to graduate school at Northwestern University, where I received my Master's Degree in Learning Sciences (which is like a degree in Education with an emphasis on public policy.)

"I am an experienced teacher and educational researcher with a deep-rooted passion for ensuring that ALL students are prepared for bright and successful futures. I believe that every student can succeed. Success in school is not a matter of innate talent but rather a matter of true effort. It can be difficult for students to feel motivated if they have experienced "failures" or consistently run into obstacles they do not feel equipped to overcome. That's where I find it critical to provide opportunities for students to experience success through small steps." ...

"As a tutor, I like to begin with structured strategies for learning concepts and applying them to new tasks. If working on a school or college subject, I will incorporate the students' own classroom texts with my own additional examples or readings. If working for test prep, I would like to work with the student in his or her own test prep book (I will have the same myself) working through specific strategies for each question. My past tutoring and teaching experiences include working with individual college students on English essay writing, Intro Micro- and Macroeconomics, and 4th-5th grade creative writing." ...

"I am a graduate of economics and Spanish at Lawrence University. I love all things economics, especially environmental and natural resource economics. I was a tutor at the Lawrence University Center for Teaching and Learning for four years, and have found my students are most successful when they have fun with their lessons. I am always exploring new ways to make tutoring sessions fun and easy to understand! I am known to bring rubberbands, corn kernels, and LOTS of scratch paper to my sessions. I am a Spanish speaker and spent six months studying in Argentina where I learned to dance tango and practiced daily yoga in Spanish and English." ...

"As an educator, I strive to ensure that all my students maximize their potential and achieve all of their goals. My experience has been with primarily middle and high school students in urban settings and I appreciate and understand the need for differentiation based on the diversity of student needs and learning styles. I look at education as a series of building blocks, or skill sets. I believe in repetition and mastering of skill sets before proceeding to the next levels."
