...taught me the most common problems students encounter in academic writing including lack of clarity, redundancy, the inability to structure an argument, and the most common spelling and grammar mistakes. It also forced me to develop ways of getting students to identify and correct these errors.

I graduated magma cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh with a focus in Earth and Space Science. I am an outdoors person; I enjoy being outside and observing the surrounding world.

...The story of what a scientist was trying to accomplish when creating a theory can make the difference between accurately comprehending a theory and therefore its limitations or only memorizing a formula for plug and chug strategies. Of course in test taking, there is nothing wrong with plug and chug approaches except in cases where there are more than one formula that can apply and a deeper understanding is required. I have an extensive knowledge...

...plan to finish my degree at the University of Pittsburgh. While at CCAC, I began to tutor students and developed a passion for it, particularly when it comes to mathematics.
