At ASU, I assisted several professors and gained a lot of experience working with a wide variety of students. I believe that every student has a preferred technique for studying, but by practicing different methods one can reinforce their positive habits whilst simultaneously learning new skills. I have studied...

...working with the Denver Math Fellows helping close the opportunity gap for high need students by providing small group math instruction. I find the most excitement in tutoring middle school math and science, Algebra I, and General Biology.

...of the peer tutoring group and a 1-1 peer tutor myself. When I was a leader, I taught the other peer tutors a way to not simply tell them the answer, but to always help students come to their own answers. This is exactly what I did in my own 1-1 sessions, and I saw my student's grades go from F's to A's. I received my high school education at GreatHearts Academies. They offer a...

...a student can relate to, it's more understood and that familiar example is better remembered in a testing situation. I have experience teaching a Biology Lab for non-science major college students from freshman to seniors. It was the experience that ultimately showed me what I was capable of sharing information and how much fun it was. Education to me is something that should be enjoyed. If one is not enjoying what they are doing, what's...

...study review sessions. I am very friendly and personable and love teaching all subjects, but psychology is my favorite. I know everybody learns differently and I love figuring out which teaching styles work best for each student. Psychology involves many theories and abstract concepts so I find it helpful to provide real world examples that can help my students really understand. Personally, I learn best when I can receive the information from multiple sources. So...

...also to help high school students edit their personal statements in preparation for college. Upon graduation in 2008, I became a Teach for America corps member. Through the organization, I taught English for two years in the Isaac School District while earning my M.A. in Elementary Education at Arizona State University. During this time I adopted many of Teach for America's core beliefs: that all students should have the opportunity to receive an excellent education;...

...Education. Before getting the master's degree in education I worked for NASA as an entry-level scientist/analyst, which essentially means I did A LOT of computer programming. I worked on the following projects: Galileo, Cassini, IRAF, UBV White-Dwarf Sky Survey, and NICMOS on the HST. However, while working on those projects I quickly discovered that my lifelong dream of being an astronaut was not really what I wanted to do. I had always had a passion...

I am a nationally certified EMT, and I have experience working in the field, so...

...to inquire about and learn more of the world, but it's the best system we've got. Yet even still, it isn't perfect. People learn in different ways, and sitting in a classroom isn't always going to allow for optimal learning conditions. That's where I come in. By tutoring, myself and others are able to directly work with individuals until comprehension, understanding, and eureka moments abound. I am personally most interested in languages, math, history, literature,...

...Spain for a year where I studied a master's degree at Berklee College of Music's Valencia Campus. Before finally committing to studying music at ASU, however, I spent 2 years studying Electrical Engineering, and it was through my experiences in classes like Differential Equations and Signal Analysis that I learned the importance of a good teacher who truly wants to see you succeed. My experience in these different fields have shown me the importance of...
