I majored in Middle Eastern Studies and minored in math during undergrad at Cornell. Since graduating I've worked in a number of fields and countries, although the common theme is teaching English and researching in the Middle East. As an English Teaching Assistant at Weill Medical School in Qatar, I became competent at editing and guiding students in writing. I'm now a first year fellow studying Policy Analysis at the Pardee RAND Graduate School.

...as a unique learner. Every student learns differently and my goal is to find out what makes them tick in order to open the doors to understanding the topic. As a tutor, I strive to get my students to not only learn the knowledge, but truly understand. I have been working in the education field since 2007 and I am familiar with various techniques. My approach to education is very hands-on and inquiry based.... I like to keep things as simple as possible when teaching, and rely on pen, paper, and the "Socratic Method" as much as possible. Computers certainly have their place in the modern learning environment, but my goal as a teacher ultimately is to help students learn how to learn and to get excited about the subject matter, rather than just stuff their heads with lots of (to them, anyway) meaningless and disjointed facts and figures.
