...on, my extensive experience in the classroom as a Jumpstart Corps Member taught me to adapt my teaching style to each childs needs. While some learned better through mnemonics and letter-to-word associations, others preferred to process information and teach content back to me themselves. The greatest lesson I've learned as a tutor is to first step back and let a student tell me their goals, show me how they take in information, and point me...

...to get to the root of where things went awry. By working through each problem little by little, the path towards understanding is revealed.

...These kids often struggled in school and have had to repeat the same grade multiple times. Our program focused on reading comprehension and writing, and I am proud to say my student made it on the school honor roll for the first time. I view tutoring as a form of giving back to my community and as a mutual learning experience for me and my student. My teaching style stresses focusing on separating concepts that...

...answers to abstract questions, can play such a huge role in your future. My own experience as test-taker and test-teacher has convinced me that as a tool for evaluating students, standardized testing has its share of flaws. But the tests aren't unfair or unbeatable; they challenge you to learn a specific language. I don't mean the fancy vocabulary you'll want in a verbal section, but the forms and patterns of the questions themselves. With thoughtful...

I believe that each student is unique and deserves to have a specialized tutoring experience. I am a good listener and...

...to foreign exchange students. My students ranged in age from 12 to 18. The most rewarding part of the experience was witnessing the moment when minimum skills turned to competency, or competency turned to fluency. In my work with students since then, I have looked for several more of those moments. Whether it is when metered poetry suddenly makes sense, or when a jumble of conflicting thoughts turn into the first paragraphs of an admissions...

I can help you write and edit your essays, help you with your math homework, or organize your finances. I also enjoy snow cones and long walks on the beach. Not a huge fan of black olives.

...from me. One way I reinforce mutual learning, in my class, is to provide regular feedback to students. I ask students lots of questions. They also complete course evaluations, where they reflect on the course, their goals and relay on whether the course is helping them meet their individual goals so far. Students are very insightful and always provide me with useful information that allows me to improve my delivery in the classroom. I believe...

I have extensive experience working with children, which has helped me develop soft...

I have tutored, course assisted, and led my own courses at Stanford University, Wesleyan University, and more.

...the Department of Nephrology as a research associate. I am attending Washington State University's MD Program in August! :) My biggest motto is that if you're not embracing your mistakes, you're not growing. Failure happens and there is no shame in it!

...I do love teaching... that's why I can't seem to leave it. These days I'm employed as a paraprofessional at Middletown High School. I spend a lot of my spare time with my grandson, Joshua, who is 13 years old and a total delight. He never fails to make me smile. He attends middle school in Glastonbury where he is an A student and football player. I look forward to attending his games every week.
