I graduated with a B.A. in Neuroscience from Skidmore College, an elite liberal arts school in Upstate New York. The Neuroscience major focused on a broad mix of psychology and biology courses, but the liberal arts setting also allowed me to explore other interests such as Spanish and anthropology.
While at Skidmore, I was selected to be the lab assistant for the Introduction to Neuroscience course, where I held separate tutoring sessions for anyone interested. I developed fun and easy ways to memorize a seemingly impossible amount of information.
I also have an extensive background working with elementary/middle school age kids through Jumpstart, a one-on-one Americorps tutoring program for bilingual students, and through various summer school programs.
I can help you with anything from Algebra to Chemistry to Grammar; my favorite subjects are Math, Biology/Life sciences, Essay Editing, and Spanish. The best way to describe my teaching style is this quote by Benjamin Franklin, 'Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.' I hold the strong philosophy that teachers should be engaging and that learning can and should be fun. The fun comes from feeling challenged and being able to overcome that challenge. There can also be a very fine line between challenging and frustrating. I will help you work through things with patience and laughter
My parents and especially my three older sisters have taught me about the power of laughter and positivity in all aspects of life. I feel like each of my sisters was a personal tutor to me and I would love to pass my knowledge on. Growing up, I tried to be outside as much as possible. There are tons of lakes and rivers where I am from, so I was always swimming or rock-hopping through creeks. Now, I am an avid rock climber, hiker, camper, and overall nature-lover. I just recently moved to Tucson, and I am so excited to climb all over the Catalinas.
