...valuable skill I have learned is the ability to communicate material in a clear and approachable manner. Past students have remarked that my teaching style is animated and are surprised at their ability to focus and understand concepts even after a long day of school, practice, or work.

...that I was instrumental in them passing the class, because I was able to communicate difficult concepts in easy-to-undertand manners. My teaching philosophy is to guide and show, not tell, students how to complete complex problems and assignments.

I am looking forward...

My name is Julia and I am a junior at Connecticut College. I am a Psychology and Economics double-major. I am a highly motivated student who enjoys helping peers as well. I was born and raised in France so I am fluent in both French and English. When I am not at school, I live on Cape Cod. In my free time, I enjoy running, photography, and hanging out with friends.... The best way for a student to become an independent learner is for them to become accountable for their learning. This means that they must own their difficulties as well as their strengths and admit where they may need help. I will help each student realize their potential and acknowledge that they can do it on their own, without someone guiding them. This happens over time as a student's confidence builds in a subject matter.

I'm a retired professor who taught statistics for many years. To be a good citizen these days, you have to know a little statistics, because many people will try to convince you of many things with statistics, and you need to be able to separate the truth from the lies.... I want you to understand how statistics works and what the logic behind it is. If you understand that, then it will be easy to learn new things because they will probably follow the logic of something you already know. You don't have to be good at math to learn statistics, but you do have to be able to think logically. If you just learn how to plug numbers into formulas, then you don't really know statistics.
