I'm originally from Boston and I graduated from Wesleyan University in Connecticut, where I majored in Government and Sociology. During my junior year, I studied abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark.

...with native Argentine children each day, apportioning and distributing breakfast for them, preparing their lunch, and teaching them English. These 20 children ranged in ages from 3 to 16 years old, and none of them had any English in their vocabulary before we arrived.

Through training and experience, I realized the importance of tailoring teaching methods to an individual student's learning needs.

...of Maryland and am working in the interim between no and when my graduate program starts in the fall. I plan to be a high school art teacher as I find that art lends itself to the more difficult subjects to breach including social issues.

...Subsequently, I tutored other college students in French until my graduation in 2008. I returned to tutoring French for one year during graduate school. I'm a good tutor because I genuinely enjoy the topics I work with.

For example, I once had a 3rd grader who wasn't reading fluently, and her comprehension was below grade level. Her mom said she had tried so many people and approaches, but no luck. I was able to find out what the problem was within 10 minutes, did a quick 15-min...
