...Clark College with a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics. I enjoy doing and teaching math and love to think of math in real-life terms with lots of different kinds of examples to help as a guide through the abstract. Along with math, I focussed on both Computer Science and Spanish. I gained most of my Spanish literacy through two study abroad experiences in the Dominican Republic and Chile, where I took all my classes and...

...to enter the teaching profession, and I have come to absolutely love it. I really like working with young people, not least because they intuitively understand as I do that learning should be fun and that few great things are accomplished without a laugh or two along the way; ultimately, however, it is about learning and personal growth, and nothing I have ever done professionally comes close to the satisfaction I feel when a student...

I grew up in rural New York, and went to school in a variety of settings including home-school, private school, public high school, and public university. A passion for helping others drives me to help students understand difficult topics. A love of hands-on education inspires me to help students make real life connections to the topics they are studying to prepare for life more than a test.

As a teacher with 11+ years of experience, I hope to bring the same passion of learning that I have to students.

My teaching philosophy is all about making learning fun, and increasing equity. I give students the freedom to express themselves. I believe in provoking curiosity and finding connections between their interests and the subjects they study in school. Above all, I encourage critical thinking and questioning. When I'm not teaching or tutoring, I enjoy...

...sharing the knowledge I've learned, a passion that motivates not only my academic endeavors and interests, but also my work as a tutor.

I have experience in tutoring peers and younger students throughout my academic career, and enjoy working with learners of all ages.

...By that, I mean I go into a tutoring session ready to respond to what the student needs. As a tutor, I am not the primary educator, but rather someone who offers what a student might not necessarily have at school: personalized, one-on-one support and assistance, designed to meet the needs of the student, and tailored around how best the student learns and engages with their subjects. Because of that, I find working with students...

I am extremely passionate about the Spanish language, as well as Psychology,...
