Above all, I care deeply about making learning relevant, meaningful, and fun!

...and academic support classes. One of my favorite parts of teaching is getting to know each student as a learner. No two students are the same, and it is an exciting challenge to find what strategies work best for each student.

I prioritize working to develop logical and generalizable ways to address questions and problems, as this makes it easier to know which strategy can be used to solve them.

...it gives me an opportunity to be a part of someone's life in a positive and nurturing manner. Prior to teaching, I was a girl scout leader, CCD teacher, and most importantly a mom, and the latter role has been my most rewarding because I loved being our child's first teacher.

...life, not an obligation. Tutoring writing, in particular, allows me to really see the whole process of thinking for a student. From the formulation of an idea, to finding a voice, to going through the details of an argument, writing offers insight into the key learning practices of a student. I love to be a part of this process, guiding and learning alongside. When Im not tutoring, I enjoy gardening, composting, and cooking, as well...
