...of Arizona. I received my B.S. degree in psychology with a minor in biology, with a focus on neuroscience and biomedical science from Northern Arizona University.

Throughout school, I continued to take every opportunity to assist friends and classmates....

When I was 17, I graduated early from high school and spent two months in Guatemala at a Spanish language school. In college, I participated in a Spanish language drama club, and I directed a play in Spanish, produced at a local theater. Last spring, I traveled to South America and spent four months in Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina,...

"I am so adjective, I verb nouns." I believe relationships are more important than test scores, and people more important that numbers, budgets, or grades. But if we have to play along with this this game, we may as well play with skill.... The guiding question I always ask myself while teaching is, "How can I support students to face their challenges and fears so they can take on cultural activity that awakens rather than anesthetizes...

I believe that tutoring must be a learning experience that is sustainable...

...University of Arizona studying political science with a burning passion for my Arizona Wildcats (Beardown!) and keeping up with our world. From a pretty young age, I've always enjoyed helping peers with school work and helping explain concepts that maybe they didn't quite understand. I transitioned this desire to help my peers, into becoming a math and English tutor to middle school kids for three years in high-school. My goal in tutoring is to not...

...students find their own inner teacher, and often I use the Socratic Method to help students access their own creativity, logic, and critical thinking instincts. A good tutor is a guide, not an expert. Although I have expert skills, the point is not for me to flex my prowess but to help you, the student, cultivate your own capacities for self-trust and independence as a learner. Outside of academia, I love to explore my nightly...

I love writing, language, and believe the practice of writing is intrinsic to understanding ourselves, and the many-worlds we are alive in. I am increasingly interested in compositional practices. I've experimented with how film and sound act as a processing event for elucidating feelings / textures / topographies language cannot....

With my MA, I am most qualified to teach Philosophy; however, I am "highly qualified" according to the State of Arizona to teach a wide range of subjects, including English, Social Studies, History, Middle School General Sciences, Geography, and Political Science/American Government.

...with emphases in translation studies, second language acquisition and teaching, and (as of recently!) Medieval literature. As far as tutoring goes, I'm a language specialist with three main interests--English, German, and Spanish. For each of these languages I'm happy to help students achieve those goals which are most important to them--whether it's preparing for a test, revising their writing, or simply practicing their conversational skills. I especially enjoy helping students with the early stages of...
