...and grew up on my parents farm/ranch that they still own and operate. I graduated from Montana State University with a BA in Philosophy with a religious studies option.

I want to continue to tutor math and science at the primary and...

...extends beyond knowledge of one individual subject area. My favorite high school courses were AP Calculus and AP Physics, and my favorite courses during undergrad were in Moral Philosophy/Ethics. While at OSU I worked as a Peer Tutor for the University, where I tutored mainly Mathematics ranging from Pre-Algebra to Calculus.

I would also like to aid in the development...

All of these areas stretch from an elementary to an advanced level, and I consider it of cardinal importance to equally value the successful communication both of elementary topics, such as algebra 1 or German word order, and complex ones, such as deontological critiques of utilitarian ethics. By valuing all levels of difficulty, I am able to give students a firm foundation, with which they can grasp truly complex ideas...

...St. Louis University working on attaining a Master's in Public Health. I attended Creighton University for my undergraduate education, where I studied physics for two years before switching my major to philosophy.

This education, combined with my experience as a teacher in Creighton's "Philosophy for Children" program, has helped...
