Kathleen: Santa Clara MAP course instructor
...graduated from Cornell University in 2010 with a BA in Psychology. I dove into teaching right after college and taught 6th grade math. After a few years of teaching, I served as an Urban Education Fellow at Brown University. I love teaching math and working with students of all ages. I really love algebra concepts in particular! In my free time, I like to play soccer and surf at Narragansett Town Beach!... In the first session, I think it is important that we spend some time getting to know each other. I want to get an understanding of the goals you'd like to reach through tutoring and by what date. In addition to this, I also want to know how you learn best, especially if it is a challenging concept. Finally, I would want to diagnose your current level of understanding by going through a brief diagnostic.
