...in China and Mandarin Language. I spent six months in Kunming, China, which included one language-intensive semester with a Middlebury College program and two months of independent travel and research. I worked for three years as a Peer Writing Consultant at the Vanderbilt Writing Studio, where I met with undergraduate and graduate students one-on-one to help them improve their writing. Outside the classroom, I rebuild motorcycles, write poetry and fiction, and hitchhike.... I believe comprehension and retention are best achieved through dialogue, not lecturing.

I graduated in 2016 from Centre College with a BS in Mathematics and minors in Computer Science and Spanish. I tend to favor Socratic methods of instruction over lectures, as I feel the involvement of the student is necessary for learning concepts fully, not just rote memorization and regurgitation. ... Sometimes people just need a little nudge in the right direction and a bit more confidence....

...toward. I am a native Tennessean from a town in northwest Tennessee called Troy. I graduated from Lipscomb University with a double major in Communications and Spanish in 2013.

I have worked in several middle and high schools throughout Nashville tutoring in Spanish, ESL, English and math. Additionally, I...

...I have also been very successful at increasing state assessment scores because I align my questioning with the questioning that students will see on common core state assessments.
