...Development and Foreign Policy. Outside of academics, I am an avid gamer, both tabletop and video games. I frequently travel, both for pleasure and for gaming competitions.

...in nature affords. My 2013 thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail offered the most concentrated period of emotional and spiritual growth Ive experienced to date. The walk from Georgia to Maine took six-and-a-half months and spanned over 2,100 miles.

...on their own. I've conducted writing workshops and edited newspaper copy since I was in high school, and I strongly believe that when it comes to verbal learning, practice makes perfect, and practice with outstanding source material makes a huge difference. In the little spare time I do have, I like to read, write, draw, and play the violin or the piano, though I'm pretty out of practice at this point in time. I am...

...believe that the best way to teach is to practice examples and problems. I like to let my students not just hear what I am saying and internalize it, but also to do it on their own. One thing that I especially find helpful is learning some of the tricks behind tests. There are always ways to figure things out or deduce solutions when you do not have a clear concept of the answer. Not...

...problem areas can feel less overwhelming and even fun. My method is to first understand my student's specific issue, and work to address him or her as an individual. I help them develop strategies so when they are alone and facing a difficult problem, they have the foundation and confidence to work through it by themselves. Most importantly though, I make sure my students laugh at least once during a session - when they are...

I love teaching on the individual level because seeing students'...

...(in Geology) and my Masters at Colorado State University (in Watershed Science), I have uncovered a love not only for academic topics I learned, but for teaching those topics to those around me. Most recently, I was a Teaching Assistant for a watershed course at Colorado State University, in which I enjoyed leading laboratory sessions and working through problem sets with undergraduate students. I have a long (6 year) history of tutoring students from Elementary...

...believe that you need to be having fun learning or else the information you are absorbing will have no purpose in the future. I create lessons involving zombie attacks, trivia games, and cultural lessons that all tie to what needs to be learned. As a life-long academic, I believe that learning, though sometimes difficult, is one of the best pleasures in life. I believe frustration and confusion are tools in teaching and not mere hurdles...

My company transferred me to...

...of an interesting or quirky phenomena of relevance to the student. With my students I strive to make lessons conversational and interactive because learning is an activity one participates in, not a lecture one merely listens to. The most complicated concepts can be simplified into approachable pieces of information by the right tutor.

I am a camp counselor in the summer time, and I love connecting with my campers...

...As I am sure you have noticed, my passion and experience rests in tutoring reading and writing. I love writing, and I truly believe that everyone is capable of putting together a great novel, a smart essay, a concise speech, or a well-written screenplay. These days, many students see writing as a burden -- a long paper over the holiday break or busy work they can skirt. With writing, there is not always a correct...

...consistently seen how valuable personalized, one-on-one academic support can be for my students. I've spent many hours working individually with students long after the school day ends to help them prep for the ACT, polish their English papers, or understand a math concept. I know that every student learns differently, and as a teacher and tutor I aim to give my students a diversity of learning approaches so that we can figure out which one...
