I still help my youngest sibling with her Calculus homework today. My first compensated tutoring gig came...

...with a small group. Teaching others is a great way to expand understanding of how other students think and develop ideas, and it allows myself to see new ways to look at problems. While I'm not studying (or helping my friends study), I love to play music (piano, flute, guitar), take a walk through the forest preserve, draw, design/sew clothing, chat with friends, etc. I look forward to contributing to students' learning endeavors!

We can make general methods to teach many students a bit, but to really learn something, the learning process has to become more personal.

By understanding what they want from tutoring, I can tailor my lessons to how they learn so they will...
