...in New York City. Personally, I love reading almost any kind of literary fiction (though I have quite an affinity for WWII fiction). I also love to write and try to take as many different kinds of writing classes as my schedule and wallet can afford me. Aside from literary interests, I love trying any kind of new food, attempting to bake pies, and knitting anything cozy or fluffy. I believe that through communication, we...

...a large part of why I love being able to help students improve at different subjects, in my opinion nothing beats watching a student grow in confidence in a subject. Outside of the classroom I am a huge sports and nature lover, someone who is just as willing to sit and watch a game as I am to go on a hike with some friends. After college I hope to pursue a career in sports...

...favorite parts of college and I'm excited to be back at it. Since graduating, I've worked for Oberlin's Office of Communications, written for two alternative weeklies (Cleveland's Scene and Portland's Willamette Week) and an app (Countable.us), and gone on tour with my band. When I'm not tutoring or on deadline, you can find me with my guitar in the studio, caramelizing onions for my next big feast or with my nose buried in a book...

...inspire and relate to passionate learners. I have traveled to 38 US States and seven foreign countries (France, Italy, Monaco, England, Germany, Morocco, and Canada). My interest in literature lead me to study abroad at the University of Oxford, where I spent a summer internalizing British culture and Shakespeare's canon. I recently relocated to the greater NYC area after getting married. Before I moved, I volunteered at a local community theater and an animal shelter...

...at Williams, I also worked as a student technology consultant and a teaching assistant to a high-school summer program on campus. What makes me unique as a tutor is that I can empathize with the frustrations of learning.

Therefore, I understand what it is like to seek assistance, solve an issue strategically, succeed and...

...Computer Science and minoring in Music Technology. As a Computer Science major, I've come to appreciate languages like XHTML, CSS, Java and Processing and while I know how to code in C++, I tend to stay away from it because Java has spoiled me with the lack of pointers and no need to deleting allocated memory. As for the music technology aspect of myself, I just enjoy producing beats from game music already created.... By encouraging...

...all needed to understand exactly what we needed to do. So, on several occasions, I created brief PowerPoints of the applicable concepts to see where we needed the most work. I printed out relevant text and any sample problems I could find to aid in my teams understanding of the design criteria until we were all comfortable enough to proceed. Currently, I am employed as a consulting engineer for an engineering firm in Suffolk County,...

...out of college, I still find that learning and discovering are forces that both fascinate and drive the direction of my life.

...is Physics because I love seeing how the universe works; I also enjoy math because it's a huge part of Physics! My method is to first make sure the student knows exactly what the question is asking them to find, then break the question down into as many simple steps as needed to show the student how to progress to the right answer. Rather than perform each step for them, I prefer to guide the...

I've also been a Mandarin...

...bring joy of games - is to be found everywhere in the nature of the human brain; a living computer; a vast of potential of weighted logic gates which give rise to the substance of what we call learning when we - by our activities - so organize them. Even the most bizarre or inspired art - so I attest - comes from the negotiation and change of this substance of our minds, and there...

I have always found the maths and sciences to be both the most interesting subjects, but also the most applicable to real world problems - this is why I chose to major in what I did. Because I usually tutor in Math, I often...
