...to get into medical school because my father stressed the importance of mathematics when i was very young. It helped get me through the hardest parts of college.

Material to be covered will be determined after hearing the student's perceived weaknesses and targeting those areas.

Not all students learn the same way. I utilize a variety of instruction methods to individualize learning. With the right teaching style, every student can succeed.... I like to spend the first session getting to know the student and their individual learning style. Do you learn best by reading? By listening? By doing? Maybe you're not sure; that's okay, too. I'll work with you to figure it out. I also take this time to define the specific goals of the tutoring sessions. Am I here to help with a big test coming up? Is there a specific concept you're struggling with? Do you need help with your study skills? Or are you looking to improve your overall understanding of a subject? This allows me to individually tailor my instruction to the needs of the student and foster a successful exchange.

Getting to know each other a little bit makes everything more comfortable. I grew up in a heavily intellectual family, and attended Reed College, but I put a lot of value on non-academic interests.

...tutors at Front Range Community College. I try to approach most subjects using the student's interests to engage and teach, with as many real-world examples as possible, and as much humor as possible (laughter helps with memory). I enjoy sewing, crafting, and knitting in my free time, and am an avid costume-maker. I have won several awards for my costumes, and like to travel to display them and chat with fellow costume geeks.
