In my spare time I love long runs, singing, hiking, and reading.

Education, to me, is like a logic puzzle; it's hard to cultivate a love for it at first, but as the student grows and understands more about the subjects they're learning, the charm is irresistible. In my spare time I'm found either in the research labs or drawing at the Charles!

As a tutor,...

Bearing that in mind, I use a Socratic method to draw out ideas and key words and phrases when helping students come up with responses to creative writing essay questions, i.e., the kind given on SATs, ACTs and on college essays. Usually, by the end of the session, they find out that they need a lot less help...
