...understand what aspect of a concept is difficult for a student, even when the student cannot clearly articulate her own problem. In addition to my experience at Hamilton, I spent a summer teaching science to 4th and 5th graders with Exploration Summer Programs and a Summer teaching chemistry to 8th graders with Breakthrough Collaborative. In both of these programs I developed my own curriculum and planned all of the lessons. I learned how to explain...

...younger siblings-- one in elementary school and one in high school-- so I feel comfortable teaching all ages!

Math is hard, it is good to seek extra help and clarification to construct a solid foundation of mathematical knowledge.
