Laine

Certified Tutor

Hello! I'm Laine Sullivan, a first-year graduate student at the University of Colorado, Boulder, pursuing a Master's in Geography along with certificates in university-level teaching and women's studies. My undergraduate journey at Illinois State University, where I majored in Geography and minored in Environmental Studies, ignited my passion for education and spatial analysis. With over two years of tutoring experience, including assistant teaching a statistics class for geography students using R, I thrive on fostering a collaborative learning environment tailored to each student's unique needs. My teaching philosophy emphasizes patience and hands-on problem-solving, as I believe that understanding the 'why' behind concepts builds lasting confidence. I am particularly excited to share my knowledge in subjects like AP Human Geography and GIS, as I enjoy connecting academic lessons to real-world applications, inspiring students to see the relevance of geography in their lives. Through tutoring, I aim to instill a love for learning and help students engage with the world around them.
