I hope to use my own knowledge and strengths to help others achieve their academic goals.

I have a pretty flexible schedule and am open to students of all ages.

...to pursue a career in counseling. Well, that lasted until I fell in love with creative writing, which remained a pursuit until I graduated. Then, when the time came to decide on a profession, I finally listened to my heart to become a teacher.

...best taught by engaging in small projects and experiments rather than through lecture. During my time at Truman I conducted research in psychology on two different research teams. With one team I studied the effects that heart rate has on one's physical and mental health. On the other team I helped to conduct research on cognitive effects of subliminal priming. In high school I competed for my school's debate and forensics team and also took...

Not all children learn in the same ways, so it is the teacher's responsibility to know their students and provide dynamic, multi-dimensional learning opportunities that allow all of the learners to be successful. I also believe its extremely important to create a comfortable open rapport between the teacher, student(s), and parent(s) that assists children in...
