About Me

I graduated this Spring from Duke University and I'm in the process of applying to Master's programs for marine biology. I've been a motivated and committed student for the past 15+ years and I'm excited to bring my knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion for learning and teaching to all of my tutoring sessions. Although I majored in Biology at Duke, I got a minor in Classical Studies - or ancient Greece and Rome - so I have a pretty diverse educational background. In addition to my studies in college, I was DUMB (a proud member of the Duke University Marching Band) and I conducted research on Hawaiian monk seals. In the future, I hope to participate in more field work with marine mammals and eventually become a professor, so I look forward to incorporating tutoring into my educational track!

Q&A with Emma

My teaching philosophy focuses on flexibility: everyone learns differently, and I embrace that! How would you help a student stay motivated? Motivation can be challenging to maintain if you have nothing to be motivated for. Looking forward and finding goals that relate to the present studies is a great way to boost motivation. If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
