Dawn: Griffith tutor
Certified Tutor
*I really enjoy the one-on-one teaching experience, because I have found it rewarding to create a collaborative environment while working to make the student comfortable, confident, and inspired. I am passionate about inspiring students to want to learn in a supportive and caring environment. I am motivated to build up a student's confidence and help them to overcome anxiety! I also enjoy the challenge of stimulating bright, motivated students. I am an experienced tutor, having had many opportunities to work one-on-one with students in both a professional and an academic environment. As an undergraduate, I studied chemistry, biology, and mathematics and went on to receive a Ph.D. in mathematics and oceanography from Johns Hopkins University. Upon graduation, I taught as a tenure-track professor of mathematics at a small college in Boston. Several years ago, I moved back to the West Coast to be with family. Now I enjoy my dual career as an academic editor and tutor. My favorite aspect of teaching has always been working one-on-one with students. Because of my eclectic background in the biological, mathematical, and earth sciences, I feel comfortable working with students in a variety of subjects. Other than tutoring, I really enjoy playing violin, hiking, swimming, and cycling.
