...my time as an undergraduate, I have traveled extensively, tutoring children in underprivileged communities in my local city for a nonprofit Chicago Hopes for Kids program and also privately for students in public schools.

I see education as a way to grow as a whole person and shape ones life, which is why I feel the...

...have just recently taken all the subjects I have listed to tutor in. The information is fresh in my mind, so I can approach the content from many different angles to help the student understand the material. Outside of school, I spend a lot of my time at Buffalo Wild Wings, hands down the best wings I have ever eaten. Consequently, I also spend a lot of my time exercising - usually swimming or weightlifting.

...learning Math, and I always enjoyed helping them. Calculus is one of my favorites in particular, because I enjoy seeing my students realize that, while it is kind of intimidating at first, Calculus is just as easy as the math that came before it. I also enjoy helping students learn to get comfortable with standardized tests like the ACT. I keep both of us in a good mood so that the test doesn't seem as...

...two years working as a lead teacher in an early pre-k classroom, first as a lead in a ten 24-36 month olds at a private family-owned center and now as a co-lead in a classroom of ten 15-36 month olds at a local community center.

To learn more about this process and to build upon the assistance I can offer students, I will be a Master of Social Work (A.M.) candidate at The University of Chicago, starting in September 2014.

...I've found that helping students see these connections vastly increases their curiosity and engagement. Cooking is probably my biggest hobby, and while it may seem unrelated to traditional academics, the topic has helped me teach about chemistry, biology, botany, ethics, sustainability, history, language, and more.

Personally, I've studied for and taken multiple AP exams and the ACT so I can give advice and and aid in preparation for other to do so. I also have experience tutoring elementary school students and adapting my tutoring style to fit the needs of the pupil.

...Genetic Counseling. I can't wait to be a genetic counselor because they strive to make complicated or scary things easier to understand - and I will have the same goal for my students as a tutor.
