"My name is Madeline (Maddie), and I am currently a sophomore at Northwestern University majoring in theatre and English (creative writing), with a minor in psychology.

"I have tutored a broad range of academic levels from basic arithmetic to Algebra II and Calculus to even Statistics. I have always wanted to be a math teacher and enjoyed tutoring on the side, as well as helping some of my peers who have returned to college with their math courses. I have always felt that my credibility as a teacher would increase should I have other career experience under my belt. Hence, my insurance job! However, I absolutely love math and cannot wait to have my job where I get to teach it every day. I feel that the best way to help someone learn is to make sure that they actually understand how to do something and why they are doing ...

" Ever since I was a little girl, I have dreamed of being a teacher. I would play "school" with my little brother by helping him read, write, and complete his math homework. I decided to do the very best for myself by attending one of the nation's top schools for teacher preparation, Michigan State University. Through my schooling, I have learned an incredible amount regarding children, the way they learn, different methods for teaching, and strategies for helping young ones achieve. Outside of the college classroom, I have learned even more about how to work with children by getting to know students one on one." ...
