Certified Tutor
I discovered a love of learning from an early age, deeply enjoying English, languages, and music especially. In college I majored in Linguistics and further discovered that I love the way languages work in general, and that teaching others to acquire skill in both their native and second languages, especially in pronunciation, is a fascinating and satisfying process. Through tutoring and assisting professors while at Luther College as well as giving violin lessons, providing childcare for younger to older children, and becoming a mother, I've found an abiding love for teaching one-on-one and helping people. I particularly appreciate the importance of gaining native-like pronunciation within the frame of language-learning, improving English reading and writing skills, and helping violinists to gain excellent form and tone from the beginning. My desire is to help people discover the way they best learn- visually, by doing, by listening, etc - and finding the most accessible way of explaining a concept for them individually. When approached from a familiar and personally appealing angle, learning can be much easier and more enjoyable!
