I also have extensive community service experience and have traveled to China, Kenya, and the Dominican Republic to engage in volunteer work.

...adept at Physics, Astronomy and Math, I have always had a passion for English Grammar, proofreading and editing. That same love of English helps me when trying to communicate mathematical and scientific ideas to those for whom the sciences are a struggle. Conversely, I feel that my science background helps me teach English to people who excel more in the sciences. In my free time I like to cook, read, play bridge and travel.

...have tutored middle school, high school, and college students (both traditional-age students and returning adult students) through area colleges and non-profit organizations.

...AmeriCorps, and I plan to use my degree to encourage elementary and middle school students to love and appreciate literature as much as I do.

...my number one goal is to see my students improve. Tutoring is a give-and-take process, and as such I encourage my students to give me feedback regarding my methods, pace, or level of difficulty.

I've just recently begun tutoring in writing, but I've been a math tutor for six years now....

Outside of instruction/studies, I played basketball in high-school, although ultimately other interests...
