I lived in South Africa for two years on a research fellowship, and I studied Arabic in Egypt. I learned to surf in Costa Rica and ate a lot of pasta in Italy.

...phonics, the questioning mechanics of the SAT - whatever the student is learning. When a connection is made, we can bridge the gaps and make learning fun and lasting. Everyone can be a math person, everyone can love grammar, everyone can write a stellar paper. Every student is different, and every student can achieve success. In my free time I love running (I'm training for my second half marathon!), reading and watching documentaries. I am...

...Chemistry for Pre-Medicine. I was homeschooled all my life, and in high school, I did all of my schooling on my own. So I learned to teach myself and figure out questions without outside help (I had no instructors). I hope to be able to teach my students this as well. I believe that learning things on our own helps us learn it much better. I learned how to test well: besides learning the material,...
