"in Creative Writing and English Literature from Knox College, and I also studied writing at Interlochen Arts Academy. I love words, but I also love using my left brain and think that math and science are incredibly fun. My teaching experience ranges from TAing English courses to teaching French and English to disadvantaged children in Senegal, West Africa. I've been told that my enthusiasm for learning is infectious. When you find a way to connect and engage with a subject, learning is fun--period!

" More recent experiences include tutoring friends and college underclassmen in Spanish grammar and conversation. My teaching style is one very focused on detail. I lead a very structured lesson but also find it very important to frequently "check-up" and analyze the progress to make sure my students are both comfortable with my pace and retaining the material. A typical tutoring session with me typically involves as much talking as listening, particularly with my students learning Spanish. I enjoy building a good rapport and working towards goals I have for myself as a tutor, as well as those my students have for themselves.." ...

"I am currently pursuing a Master's of Education in math at Northwestern University, but my passion for learning and education long precedes my formal degree. Prior to returning to school, I worked in management consulting, where I often needed to explain complex quantitative analysis to clients unfamiliar with the math; this helped me develop the ability to understand and explain various approaches to quantitative concepts, which in turn enables me to identify and address causes of confusion. I love working with students in a one-on-one setting that allows me to adapt my explanations to fit a student's individual needs.." ...

Studying math has given me an understanding of the relationships between quantities and how they change as well as logic and sound thinking.

"I hope to pass this excitement on to my students, even if the subject isn't the easiest or the most exciting.
I started tutoring during my Senior year in high school, and have been tutoring on the side ever since. In addition to tutoring on a regular basis, I also have a lot of experience helping out friends with subjects that they have difficulty with. I enjoy solving problems, so helping someone with an extra math problem or with editing their paper is always a welcome activity."
