Certified Tutor

I earned a BA in Creative Writing from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a MA.Ed. in Urban Environmental Education from Antioch University Seattle in partnership with IslandWood. I have a MFA in Creative Writing degree from the University of Washington Seattle, where I am currently a fifth-year Ph.D. Candidate in English literature and culture.

As an educator, my driving question is "How can I more effectively teach across diverse learning styles?" I use multiple tactics to accomplish a responsive approach in the classroom. I use a mix of visuals, questions, and educational tools when deliver teaching lessons. Built into my teaching are various ways to evaluate learning through formative and summative evaluation. Usually throughout the course, I do check-ins with my students to individually ask them to self-evaluate while also offering areas for which to improve. This allows me to reiterate course goals and objectives while giving them the opportunity and extra push to align themselves with these goals, making appropriate adjustments when needed. This check-in also allows me to ask what learning style is working for the students.

As an educator, I use my environmental education, professional environmental work and community college teaching experience to incorporate strategies that increase equity in the classroom. I bring all of my teaching experience to my tutoring.
