I am the second eldest daughter of four and a big cousin to a 7 and 6-year old, meaning I've been assisting my family with childcare and homework help for years before it became my job. In high school, I volunteered at my elementary school, providing homework help to 3rd-5th graders in various subjects. In college, worked as a summer camp counselor for DukeTIP, a camp for gifted kids, and interned at an organization that provides year-round academic enrichment to middle and high school students.

I am most proud of in myself is my compassion, and as a teacher I believe that compassion and patience always come first. There is never room at the table for cruelty.

I am a graduate of Hood College, with a double major in Economics and Law & Society. I attended The American University Ph.D. Economics program. I completed all the Ph.D coursework and comprehensive exams, but not the dissertation. I have taught economics at the college level for over 15 years. I enjoy seeing students make connections between economics and other fields of study or their own personal interests. It is heartening to watch students utilize economic concepts to understand the world a...More

I am very familiar with several other mathematics subjects and I am more than willing to expand my teaching experience by working with students in subjects that I have not yet had the opportunity to tutor.

I am blessed to have done three semesters abroad, the last at the Jagiellonian Universitys School for Polish Language and Culture in Krakow, Poland where the high quality of teaching has been a great example for me in my own teaching. I volunteered for two years as a teachers assistant in an ESL class for adult immigrants. I love languages, especially our own rich English language. Shakespeare has a huge fan in me! As does Vergil; in college, I carried extra credits and after college had private...More

I am excited about the opportunity to apply my skills and experience as your tutor.

What I learned through that experience was that to get kids to understand and speak another language, I had to make the target language and culture come to life. I lik...More
