I am recent graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a passion for education and experience in multiple teaching arrangements as both a student and an instructor (such as Oxford tutorials, Goethe Institute German language classes, seminars, and standard tutoring). I have a background in working with children in after school programs and camp counseling and want to share my energy for learning in a professional environment.... A successful education starts with the right motivation. I aim to uncover that motivation through asking what students hope to achieve and placing those goals at the start of the learning process. If students have a strong sense of "why" they want to learn, "how" to learn becomes a matter of clear communication, diligence, and effort on part of both the teacher and the student.

I follow the Golden Rule. I am a critical thinker and learner. I am a diplomatic, patient, open-minded, self-deprecating listener. I am dependable, honest and sincere. I am kind and helpful, supportive and empowering. My best friends would tell you I pay genuine attention to people, that I'm passionate and committed, (selectively) non-judgmental, encouraging and compassionate, humorous and tactful.... I work to help my students learn to educate themselves.... I would ask questions about the student, and I would encourage them to ask questions about me.

I believe that any student can learn. I believe that the only reason a student may be struggling is because material isn't being taught in the way that suits the individual. I try to uncover the different ways each student learns and present information in ways that make more sense to each student. I always try to make learning personal....

...pride in my patience and listening skills, and believe that anyone can understand a concept if taught with the right method. Math often becomes blurry to students, and they give up. My goal is to show them that math is not some magical unknown subject, but has very specific rules that tell you how to get the problem done. It can be very satisfying and even beautiful when something clicks in your brain. I intend...
