I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, honored in my junior year with induction into the national honors society, Phi Beta Kappa and in my junior and senior years with the highest undergraduate honor, University of Chicago Student Marshal. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a minor in Neuroscience. Most recently, I spent 6 months teaching English as a Second Language in the Paris Metropolitan region, teaching bilingually in English and French.
I believe passionately that every student is unique, with specialized talents and weaknesses to which a teacher must respond in a way as unique as the student. I look forward to using psychological research on learning to help every student realize their own personal talents, and succeed even in areas of difficulty.

Q & A

How would you help a student stay motivated?

I have found that positive reinforcement--providing rewards for desirable behavior--is the best way to motivate a student. For some, a verbal encouragement or commendation is enough; for others, I would use stickers, an artificial points system, or some other more concrete reinforcer to help motivate the student.

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

To cope with difficulty on a specific concept, my first strategy is to present the concept in a different way. If I have been using an auditory explanation, I will switch to a visual representation or a tactile demonstration. If my own explanation is insufficient, I turn to the vast resources available online--videos, games, tutorials, etc.
