I enjoy teaching and helping others learn, be it for a specific subject, test preparation (ACT, SAT...

...in neuroscience. At the University, I'm usually in class, studying, hanging out with my friends, or at club meetings! In my free time, I love to breakdance, write poetry, debate politics and economics, and participate in practically every nerdy endeavor possible (huge Star Wars fan!!). I love to talk and will talk your ear off if you let me! I love trying new things, exploring the city, and traveling. My teaching philosophy is that teaching...

I am a recent graduate of St. Olaf College, where I received a B.A. (magna cum laude) in Philosophy with a concentration in Film Studies.

In September I will begin working towards my Master's Degree in Theology. As a teacher I aim to determine the specific manner in which a student learns best. Meeting the individual learning needs of each student creates a fun learning environment! I believe that every student has the ability to achieve incredible...

...critical in order for students to process, retain, and synthesize new information. In Macedonia, for two years, I had the freedom to take calculated and creative risks in the classroom without fear of consequences from colleagues or supervisors, and because of the freedoms I had as an educator, my teaching philosophy is also rooted in empowering students to feel comfortable making mistakes and learning from those mistakes in the classroom environment. If students learn something...

...in high school. I enjoy teaching and watching students understand a topic that was once challenging to them and being able to go on to teach their peers. Nothing is as rewarding as learning something new and I love being a part of that process. I currently attend the University of Minnesota as a Political Science major and am due to graduate early in 2016. After graduation, I hope to work for a non-profit organization...

...am always looking for something new to teach myself. My new goals are becoming more fluent in French and HTML, and to more consistently write on my theater blog. I love to travel and another goal is to take an international trip this year, to Africa. My full time job is in marketing for a construction company. This has helped me gain some perspective on how hard it can be to learn new subjects you...

At my undergraduate, Simpson College, I tutored college and high school students in mathematics, economics, accounting and edited papers. I firmly believe every student can succeed if they set a goal, seek out the right support (that's me!) and work hard. I graduated Simpson College in 2016 with degrees in Economics and...
