Structure is important, but education only occurs through authentic, meaningful engagement with the material at hand. I invite students to join me in thought-provoking conversations about how a given project, skill, or lesson can inform and enrich their present and future lives.

...organization into my tutoring sessions. I utilize planning and organization to help my students achieve their goals in the classroom and college preparation. My favorite tutoring subject is test prep. I love the style of the ACT and SAT: you are working towards a goal and you get quantifiable results. I consider myself a very patient and caring person. This isn't "just a job" to me; I really want to see your children do their...

...give this subject short shrift, and helping students understand the reasons and context for why history has unfolded the way it has is deeply rewarding. I grew up in an educational tradition that focused on the student and saw the teacher as a facilitator who helps students cultivate knowledge. The teacher (or tutor) is a guide, but much of that role is tied to helping students find confidence so they can continue their education independently...

...all my life, and just moved from downtown to Parma Heights. I believe most students who struggle with math and science actually fail at the first hurdle, not firmly understanding the meaning of the material. I think a natural discussion about the material is necessary to see where the student is confused and how they can understand it intuitively is needed both before and after working through problems. Of course, doing the problem sets is...

...see the wide range of learning styles students have and has allowed me to develop a flexible teaching approach that will excite and help every type of student.

Over the course of my career, I have held many positions - from waitress to lawyer to campaign staffer. Reflecting upon what I liked most about my varied jobs, I realized that inherent in each one was a responsibility to train and teach others. That responsibility, simultaneously humbling and exhilarating, is where my passion lies. I love using my education and experience, coupled with multimedia tools, to help others reach their full potential. ... As a campaign organizer and a big sister to two college students, I have come to believe that it is far better to ask students what kind of world problems they would like to solve, rather than what they want to be when they grow up. The former prompts the student to think about their passion and contemplate the many ways to work toward it, while the latter is more restrictive. I believe that teaching someone how to learn (how to approach a question with a logical, problem-solving mindset) is more important than rote memorization. Finally, there are some tools I have found effective in sticking to a study schedule. For example, instead of listing everything on a to-do list, schedule study time as an appointment.

Currently, I work as an Image Analyst for the Ophthalmology department of Case Western Reserve University. The subjects I most prefer to tutor are the sciences and mathematics. I always viewed these subjects as logic games that happened to have a real life application....
