...20th-century American Novels and Cultural Studies. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music and English, with a minor in History from Lawrence University in Appleton, WI, graduating in 2010. In the past four years, I've really developed a passion for teaching and tutoring. I've taught English and rhetoric courses at the University of Iowa and Shandong Institute of Business and Technology in Yantai, China, as well as tutoring in the Business Writing...

...was at the forefront of my educational goals. I was always curious about the mixed deciduous forest in my backyard or the rock quarries my friends and I went to on school breaks. I guess it makes sense then that I went on to study geology and biochemistry at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. While my desire to engage with the natural world persists, this past fall I began an MD/PhD program at the University...

...and problem solving ability. This is achieved by a general assessment in the subject in question followed by analysis of such assessment. Following assessment, the student and I will work on the areas he or she is struggling in. Previous experience has taught me that no student learns exactly the same and I strive to find the strategy that works best for the individual. I have tutored numerous grades ranging from pre-k-college so I have...

I am committed to seeing a love of literature and a rise in literacy rates among young people. I believe that every child is able to be successful in their lives and that reading is a tool that will help to get them there.

...in a wide variety of subjects across the language arts spectrum. My PhD is in Creative Writing and English, and I have taught for 15 years at the college level.

I enjoy helping all levels of students meet their full potential, and I tailor my tutoring methods to each...

I know how to read and analyze texts quickly without losing content. Reworking information I've read together with my own thoughts is now second nature to me. I make my writing particularly clear by my impeccable understanding of English grammar, which I gained through extensive practice and from studying four...

...for my siblings. This helped me develop my teaching skills at a young age, and served me well when I became a recitation instructor at University of Colorado Denver, teaching upper-division genetics. My year-long tenure there only deepened my love of teaching and helped me strengthen my abilities to educate many different styles of learners. I also have the experience with graduate standardized testing, as I scored in the 95th percentile or above on the...

...Cellular Biology. During my four years of college, I guided K-12 students of the Oakland area in Language Arts and Mathematics and served as a mentor for many high school students. I have also been an undergraduate student instructor for the General Biology lab course offered at U.C. Berkeley, a prerequisite for students wishing to pursue Biology as a major. Since I have a wide range of teaching experiences in both academic subjects and test...

...to organize information. It's a skill I use both in my academic life, as well as professionally; as a stage manager, it is often my job to take in complicated and conflicting pieces of information (the blocking, a quick change in costumes, changes in a script) and quickly organize that information so that I can convey it to someone else. I enjoy and excel at condensing and re-communicating facts or tasks, so that they become...

...to bring students toward their lightbulb moments not by repeating facts until they're drilled in, but by helping my students understand precisely why the laws of science, the rules of grammar, and the events of history are the way they are, and by lifting the curtain on the intricacies of the subject matter. I believe that learning is, and ought to be, for its own sake. Math and philosophy, and their nuanced interactions, are my...
