About Me

I graduated with honors from the University of the Puget Sound, majoring in English and creative writing. As a writing advisor at my colleges writing center, I tutored over a hundred different students from diverse writing backgrounds in all stages of the writing process. I believe that dialogue and interaction are the most effective ways to teach and learn, both through implicit and explicit methods. I tutor so that students will understand why and how a concept functions, and then be able to organize it and analyze its different parts. My strongpoints as a tutor are in writing, but I also have a strong math background and love teaching all forms of math up to the high school level. I enjoy gardening and biking, and I also work for a local nonprofit.

Q&A with Will

I believe teaching happens when there is discussion between a teacher and a student. While it is sometimes useful to teach directly (through lecture, command, and doing examples), more permanent learning takes place when students practice mental processes and explore information on their own. I believe a tutor's role is to guide them through conversation.
