I hope to not only have an impact on students during the few hours I see them, but to improve their study habits for a lifetime's impact.

...OK as a member of the “Teach For America” program. I taught two highly rigorous courses for both 10th and 12th graders, and, for each, I created my own curriculum. While at Capitol Hill, I helped found an after school tutoring program for my 10th and 12th grade students. I have tutored now for almost four years (will be four years in May). I tutor 5th-12th grade English and math up to Algebra. I love...

This work has given me a deep appreciation of the power of the written...

...I don't think that science and math has to be as intimidating or scary as the world makes it out to be. Often times if we don't understand something, it's simply because it hasn't been explained to us in a way that caters to our strengths. I love math and the predictive nature of numbers. If I'm not in school you can probably find me in front of the box score of a basketball or...

...what I do!! Being a child of two educators probably had a little bit to do with it as well. My father was a college professor at the University of Nebraska. He instilled in me the love for learning and the expectation to work hard and get results. I watched him plan his lessons nightly at the kitchen table and have never forgotten how important it is to plan for each and every subject. Being...

...Master's degree, I taught Expository Writing to college students. While I am experienced with Writing and Language tutoring and enjoy teaching both, I am primarily a standardized test tutor with Varsity Tutors. Test prep combines the challenge of adapting to different learning styles with the high degree of reward that comes from helping a student raise his or her test scores and therefore open doors for that student, and for this reason, it is by...

We all have something new to learn everyday, and how we embrace this knowledge is what defines our education.

I don't want any student in the group to...

...into the structure and function of language, especially English. During my time at Rockhurst University, I have worked as a Graduate Clinician at a small private school where I met with clients who struggled with spelling, writing, and reading comprehension. All three of these skills are interconnected, and progress in these areas requires use and understanding of complex syntax, morphology, phonetics, orthography and semantics. For this reason, I utilize a multilinguistic approach that simultaneously targets...

...have tutored and taught in the subjects of reading, writing, literature, and rhetoric more broadly. While my favorite subject to teach is literature, my favorite subject to tutor is writing. When I teach a composition course, I am always suprised by how intimidated and anxious students are when it comes to writing and English class in general. I love working with students in this subject because I get to change their negative preconceptions of the...
