...learn English; we explored the world. Our journey in the classroom wasn't limited to papers, grammar, and vocabulary though they were important components. We explored history through our novel readings, debated and wrote essays using primary sources from the Library of Congress, and changed a governor's viewpoint on the environment with a book my students...

...skills of science while working for The United States Geological Survey outside of Washington, D.C. Here I obtained a wide variety of laboratory and field knowledge prior to beginning a Master's in Aquatic Ecology at Purdue University. Since enrollment, I have completed graduate studies for a cumulative seven years of experience in biology, Spanish, and...

...I have about 6 years of teaching experience and I try really hard to make learning interesting and applicable to my students, no matter the subject.

I'm an Electrical Engineering student at Purdue University and love to learn about the world around me. I really enjoy tutoring because it allows me to share my passions of math, science and technology with others and show them how cool and fulfilling exploring the world through learning can be!

...educations do not stop once we exit the classroom doors... When I am not working in an educational setting, I enjoy spending the majority of my time outdoors. Biking, running, and hiking are ways I can stay active and are great ways to decompress! One of the events I look forward to the most are...

...creating a relaxed environment for students, stimulating conversation about concepts being presented and organizing material in a way that makes it easiest to understand.
