...a biology, health, and society major at the University of Michigan. I have a significant amount of tutoring experience from my jobs as a physics learning assistant and a middle school science tutor.

Every student is capable of mastering a subject, but they all learn differently. In my free time, I like to read, play...

...with a concentration in finance, I am well acquainted with many of the various subjects taught by varsity tutors. The courses I have taken in financial derivatives, business statistics and corporate financial analysis have given me a broad base knowledge, as well as a forum for exploration.

Each week, I would demonstrate different science experiments the children could participate in and teach basic lessons on chemistry, physics, biology, engineering and social studies.

Today, as I work towards my PhD in...

...exams as well. My favorite subject to tutor is math and biology, but I am able to tutor other subject areas like reading, writing, chemistry, and physics. My tutoring style is very student oriented with some lecturing. I make sure that most of the time I am asking questions, even if it is basic, just to get the student to always be on his/her feet. I also make sure to use a lot of diagrams...

...play or the instruments they like to play. Some kids love to sing, act, dance, draw, paint, or participate in other activities. I, however, was always defined simply by my love of learning. I started reading Harry Potter when I was five years old; I was the only child in my Kindergarten class to have private advanced math lessons. When I was unable to sleep, I read trivia books and fun fact encyclopedias. None of...

...technology-based instruction, to increase student engagement. There is definitely autonomy through accountability and students should be responsible for taking assessments and using their performance data to identify their specific learning needs.

The use of puppets, props, games and role...

I have also recently accepted an offer with Teach for America to start the next schoolyear and I am very excited to continue playing a role, however small, in forwarding educational equity.
