...Community College's Post-Baccalaureate program. I have stayed up-to-date with online learning techniques by taking professional development courses with ASU's Arizona Virtual Teacher Institute.

...too found fulfillment in taking my love for literature out of the shadows. In my fourth year I worked with non-native English speakers through the Student Learning Center on campus as a writing coach and tutor, helping freshman students not only boil down the basics of "the college paper," but, I hope, come to appreciate the value of writing skills in life off campus as well. After college, I embarked on a road trip to...

...also help students with ACT English and ACT Reading. I believe that learning should be a tangible thing, something done with your own hands, ink and pen, real paper pages. The computer and the internet are useful tools, but they can get in the way of the learning process. Physically writing something down with a pen or pencil can help your brain retain information better than typing it. I believe in-person learning to be more...

In helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, together we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams.

I especially enjoy helping students with the early stages of non-L1 language acquisition (in either English, Spanish, or German).
