...prepare for standardized tests, where it is crucial not only to learn the material but also strategies for success on test day. My favorite part of teaching is seeing improvement in my students and I endeavor to keep tutoring sessions active and fun.

...teaching (and performing) ballroom and Latin dance to students ranging from the ages of 13 to 91! Yet I missed being a student myself within an academic setting and set off to grad school on a full scholarship. During my time in grad school, I was given the opportunity to teach my own freshman and sophomore level courses at Indiana University because of my extensive background as a teacher. I did this for 2.5 years...

I try to approach most subjects using the student's interests to engage and teach, with as many real-world examples as possible, and as much humor as possible (laughter helps with memory).

...years, and have been tutoring, teaching, and mentoring middle school students since I was a freshman in college. While I tutor a variety of subjects, including test preparation, I have a secret love for math. For me, working with students towards that "ah-ha" moment of solving a problem or understanding a formula is both fun and rewarding. I also enjoy sharing my knowledge of psychology and discussing complex concepts with students. Outside of academia, I...

I...

I enjoy biking, hiking, tennis, most things outdoors, movies, and reading. Favorite books include Harry Potter...
