I've spent most of my life learning and using languages, earning a degree in Classics and a Master's in Translation from National Taiwan Normal University. I know Latin, Classical Greek, Chinese, and Spanish, as well as a little French and Japanese. Chinese is the foreign language I know best, having studied, used, and taught it for almost twenty years. I use Chinese every day to communicate with my Taiwanese girlfriend, and I love helping others gain mastery in a language with an unjust reputation for difficulty. I like the tension between "playing by the rules" and "thinking outside the box" that comes with language use. I like the small joys of grammar and syntax, as well as the bigger joys of personal connections and deeper, richer life experiences that come with languages. I love teaching because I get to help other people experience for themselves these same joys. For me, language is fun, not frustrating, and it's this excitement along with a strong grasp of fundamentals, that I love to share with students.

I graduated from Colorado State University in May 2000 with MS in computer science and in May 2004 with a PhD in mathematics. I have taught mathematics and computer science at Colorado State University and Emory University. The courses I have taught include pre-calculus, calculus 1-3, business calculus, AP calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, discrete mathematics, Java programming, algorithms and data structures, college algebra, etc. I have been an AP reader of Computer Science A for a few years. Besides teaching, I am also enjoy tutoring at my free time. While most students learn by reading examples and solving problems, I, as experienced teacher and tutor, guide students learning by nurturing their interest, helping them understand the WHY in addition to HOW.

Before I liked biochemistry, I was more into mathematics. So, how did I get interested in PhD.? Well, if you had met me 5 years ago, my answer would have been a strong No. But during the year 2014-2015, it was my Senior Design project that sparked that light of curiosity in my head about biochemistry. I was working with microalgae, and the work fascinated me towards biological pathways. This made my choice for PhD. much easier. When I got into PhD program, my focus of study was clear. I joined this group that has synthesized several anticancer drugs. And to learn about the drugs interaction with cellular pathways, that leads to its anticancer effect was itself very interesting and worth exploring.

Hello! I am a Colorado native, life long learner and avid outdoor adventurer! I love teaching and seeing the spark in students as they understand a challenge concept, reach their goal, succeed on a task or assessment and find their passion.

Although I love travel and have lived both overseas and across the country, I always come back to my hometown, Portland, Oregon. After earning a partial International Baccalaureate degree, I moved to England to pursue a science degree when I was eighteen. While I was there, however, I realized that I needed to focus on my true passion, writing.I came home and earned my BA in English with a minor in writing at Portland State University. Then, I took a few years off from school and traveled all over the United States. Two years ago, I began my Master of Fine Arts in Writing at Pacific University. It's been a wonderful experience, and I'm very lucky to have worked with some superb writers.Writing is communication. It's not words on a page, and it's not just an essay or a novel or the manual to our new blender. It's the storytelling we do on a day to day basis. It's about presenting our own personal knowledge to the world and making a connection. It is vital. Not everyone is a writer, but everyone needs to know how to say: "Here, let me tell you this," and have others understand.When I'm not doing homework, I'm working on my personal writing or art projects. I have two dogs that get walked everyday on the trails near my house, and sometimes I even find time for a ride on my road bike or a hike with one of my friends.

I am a graduate of Temple University. I received a Bachelor of Science in Education, focusing on both Special and Regular Education. I hold a teaching certificate for the state of Pennsylvania in both of those areas. Since graduation, I have substitute taught, I have worked as a classroom aid through Extended School Year, I have had my own 5th and 6th grade classrooms, and I have worked in a daycare setting as a pre-school teacher. When I am teaching or tutoring, I think it is important that my students reach the answer or conclusion on their own, with only as much assistance as they need from me. I myself can take some time to learn new things, so I know how important it is to be patient and supportive through the learning process. I believe that learning should be a very enjoyable thing to do, and that everyone should have the opportunity to learn at their own pace and discover new things that they can enjoy learning about for a lifetime. I do yoga and take walks on a daily basis, I love to be outside in the fresh air. I also enjoy sewing, knitting, and making fun crafts with felt.

I am passionate about education; I have enjoyed working with students, families, and communities for over 25 years in the Education Field. Most of all I want to see students not only survive in our communities, but see them Thrive. Life is a journey, I would like to be apart of your life's learning Journey.

I am a graduate of Indiana State University. I received my bachelors of Fine Arts and focused on 2D design (photography, drawing and painting). Also minored in intranational studies and art history. I have spent most of time working and mentoring people of mental and physical disabilities. Currently going back to school for elementary education. I am an energetic person that will do my best to find new ways to teach my students. In ways they need the best help!

Since I began tutoring 8 years at the beginning of high school, I had not realized that a job that I had initially taken to help pay for the luxuries that my parents could not afford would become one of the brightest and meaningful opportunities I would ever be a part of. At Kumon, I worked with hundreds of students who were challenged with mastering the subjects they were expected to learn and challenged with material they were yet to know; it was both difficult and satisfying to see students struggling with a subject develop over time. Most of the jobs I have worked since then have allowed me to watch kids from elementary to high school grow over the course of years, and I have done my best to make sure they develop a capacity and enjoyment of learning. Even as a graduate of chemistry, I continue to tutor because it is one of, if not the most, impactful way to positively affect the younger generation, and I am glad to be a part of their growth,

I am a recent college graduate with a B.A. in geology and a minor in German studies. While in college, I worked as a German tutor and as a teaching assistant in a couple of geology courses. I love tutoring because it's helping you to achieve your academic and learning goals. I believe learning should be fun, and that the more a student is interested in what they're learning, the better they'll remember it.
