After graduating, I lived overseas for a year where I worked as an ESL teacher. I...

...Center while enrolled there, and helped many students with biology, math, chemistry, and writing homework and exam prep. More recently, I served a a teaching assistant for a graduate-level molecular genetics course at Einstein. While my master's has pulled me to the "dark side" of science (i.e. chemistry), I have a special fondness for helping others succeed in biology, particularly subjects like genetics and physiology. My tutoring style is to work through problems or subjects...

...I have a passion for math and science because of the problem skills developed through their study, but I also have a joy for reading and writing and the way language can powerfully capture ideas and meaning.

...History, and how it shapes who we are today, not only as a country, but as a whole society and can also show us where we are heading in the future. A few little things about me. I already mentioned I love history, so it shouldn't come as a shock that I can name all the U.S. Presidents in order both backwards and forwards. I love sports, especially baseball and the Atlanta Braves. I've been...
