...am an expert in psychology, reading, writing, and general scientific literacy. As a teacher and a tutor, I have worked with students ranging from children to doctoral degree candidates. I like tutoring students individually because it allows me to tailor my approach to each student in a way that I could never do in a classroom.

...strongly believe that understanding concepts is just as important as being able to work out technical problems, and that all students (regardless of perceived mathematical intelligence) have the ability to do so.

...need wise strategies for working under time pressure, narrowing down answers, and understanding what the questions are really saying. I value critical thinking as my philosophy of education, because students who have developed the ability to reason through new concepts and be confident in the conclusions they reach are not only well-prepared for tests, but also well-prepared for everything they encounter in life. When not tutoring, I spend my time reading a wide variety of...

...know they are capable of going and what they are capable of doing." I believe that people should always strive to know more. Curiosity makes the world a better and, frankly, a more fun place. If I can instill that lifelong curiosity into even one of my students, I would have reached success. I also firmly believe that conversation is a huge part of a successful teaching/learning process. No one knows how the students learn...

...I enjoy helping to guide students to a better understanding, so they can explain a concept in their own words (not just in my words). I like to draw out visual explanations whenever possible, for math and science concepts. I've been excited about all kinds of science for pretty much all my life, and I hope I can convey some of this excitement! Outside of academia, I'm into climbing and good board games.
