About Me

I am currently enrolled in the program at OHSU here in Portland. My experience teaching is wide-spread and varied. I have done everything from teaching English in Thailand to 8th and 9th graders to teaching college-level EMT classes. Including coaching positions, I have approximately 7 years teaching experience. My experiences have taught me that every person learns differently and that the key to successful learning comes from a mutual understanding of a given pupil's ideal academic style. To this end, I try hard to find an approach that is tailored to the student's cognitive needs. I am comfortable tutoring the sciences (especially Anatomy and Physiology), math, French, the arts, literature, and essay writing. I really "geek-out" on biology and A&P because it never ceases to amaze me that the delicate and precise mechanisms that drive our existence came about purely through a long process of statistical expression and deletion of traits. Whenever I manage to remove my self from my studies, I try to get outdoors to enjoy our beautiful Northwest. I live for activities such as skiing, kayaking, and climbing. When I can't make it that far, I'll settle for soccer or waterpolo.
