I love learning and want to share my passions with others because I know it can be hard!

...order to prepare yourself for whatever the future may hold, and let's face it: we all have a little "save the world" in us - it's just a matter of getting there. Everyone's version of "saving the world" is different, and often times you can't make it alone; and that's perfectly alright. After all, Stephen Hawking wouldn't have had much to learn from without Einstein, nor Einstein without Newton. As a tutor and a student,...

...of Wisconsin-Madison in 2007. I have a passion for language and languages, and I've spent a lot of time and effort learning German, Viennese, Dutch, French, and Spanish. My teaching and research interests are intentionally interdisciplinary, ranging from European culture, literatures and languages, to several subfields of linguistics (sociolinguistics, dialectology, linguistic anthropology, internet linguistics). I'm particularly passionate about teaching my students to think about and LOOK AT language in completely mind-bending ways. (If I'm your...

...and culture at the university level. However, I have also worked with learners of all ages, from 3rd grade to senior citizen, in both school and tutoring settings.

...if it means deviating form normal techniques. I have tutored both kids and peers in the past. I have found that for kids, especially in mathematics, relating to something they enjoy makes the experience more enjoyable. Regarding peers/college level students, I can relate to them very well, because I have been through exactly what they're going through and I believe the number one trait is patience. I never rush a student and treat them with...

In doing so, I am able to better reach the person in front of me, utilizing their unique interests and talents while meeting their...

Between teaching 4th grade and solely instructing an accredited freshman-level sociology course at Rutgers University during my senior year of college, I've been fortunate enough to help students adequately connect with the necessary material (school work, prep courses, etc) in ways that suit their maturity level, learning style and personal needs.
