Hello! I'm an Iowa native who moved to Nashville for graduate school. My background is in the life sciences; I have a Masters from Vanderbilt in Chemical and Physical Biology, and my undergraduate degree is in Biochemistry. However, my education has been well rounded and I have interests in philosophy, literature, writing, and history. I have extensive research experience, and I hope to share my passion for science with students. I have experience mentoring undergraduate students during my graduate school education to help them gain research experience. I am a very patient teacher and have the ability to see problems from the students perspective; my tutoring style adapts to each student's individual needs, but centers on getting each student to come to their solutions rather than following any one formula for success. I have a lot of experience with standardized testing, and have taken multiple AP subject tests in addition to the ACT, SAT, and GRE examinations.In my free time, I like to play and coach Ultimate Frisbee. I coached the Vanderbilt men's team for three years and am currently leading a club team representing Nashville that travels throughout the southeast to compete. These experiences have helped me develop the leadership, discipline, interpersonal and educational skills that are so valuable for tutoring.

As a lifelong educator, I know the importance of getting the assistance needed to perform well in school. I enjoy working with students on a variety of subjects and love getting to know what best motivates students to learn. I have taught at the elementary level, as well as the university level. My education includes a B.S. in Multidisciplinary Studies with a 1st-8th grade teacher certificate, M.S. in Special Education and licensing as an educational diagnostician, and Ed.D. in Special Education and Reading including a Reading Specialist professional educator certificate.In my free time, I love reading and spending time with my own children.

I am a recent graduate of Tulane University, where I studied computer science and sociology and minored in political science. I am extremely passionate about public interest technology and am interested in the intersection between computer science and the social sciences. Since graduating, I have been working as a federal contractor as a data analysis and research fellow, which has allowed me to practice a lot of the skills I acquired as an undergraduate. I am ready to get back to teaching and tutoring, which I have done in various capacities throughout college. I volunteered with elementary-aged students at an after schools enrichment tutoring program and was a teaching assistant with Tulane University's Computer Science Department during my junior and senior years. I have tutored and taught subjects from reading comprehension and elementary math, all the way to advanced computer science elective classes. I love getting to teach topics that I am passionate about, and I want to make sure that all students are set up for success.

I graduated from the University of Iowa in May 2017 with distinction in Economics. I have run my tutoring business since then, where I have helped my students do well in their math, science and economics classes.

I believe learning should be exciting! I want to help students understand the material and develop a genuine interest in education through engaging tutoring sessions.

As an internationally published author and unabashed word geek, I truly understand and appreciate the power of writing and how it can change lives. I believe that those who have a strong command of language, both written and verbal, make more money and lead happier lives. I love language because it is the glue of a culture; without good communication there is a breakdown in understanding and progress. I bring a fresh, fun approach to tutoring. As a Random House novelist, I spend many hours in schools, teaching dialogue, sentence structure, and grammar. I teach with a firm hand but also a child-like sense of humor (My wife says I am still 12 years old). When it comes to English, I'm comfortable teaching both the forest and the trees: broader things such as the structure of essays and short stories, and smaller details like conjunctions and semi-colons. I can also help you decipher the mysteries of a challenging novel because I write novels for a living. Born into a five-generation newspaper-publishing family, I earned my BA in English and Journalism at the University of Nebraska and spent the next several years working as a reporter at various newspapers across the country. When our daughter was born I decided to stay home, raise her, and write fiction. I love National Public Radio, trucks, museums, bird-watching, hiking, and the New York Times crossword puzzle. Perhaps the best proof of my tutoring abilities can be found in our daughter's perfect SAT scores, both in the verbal and writing sections. She also earned a 100-percent grade on her International Baccalaureate extended essay. It is impossible to get into a good school without sound writing skills. Let me help you build them.

Committed to excellence and instilling a passion for learning in all students!

A great tutor encompasses many great qualities. This person has the interpersonal skills and qualities of a mentor while possessing the compassion, empathy, and patience of a parent. This person is able to work with students of all levels by being empathetic and being able to relate to them. A great tutor has the knowledge necessary to teach a student, but does not force the material and understands that the learning process is unique for each student.

I have been an educator for nine years, and I have always enjoyed working with students one on one in order to help them reach their fullest potential. This year, I have stepped out of the classroom in order to work with teachers, and I miss working with students on a daily basis. So, as a tutor, I am able to get back to my passion of teaching students.I believe that every student has the ability to achieve the highest levels of learning. I also believe that a solid educational foundation sets the stage for life long success. Sometimes, there are gaps in a student's knowledge, and it is my job to locate these gaps in order to help the student move forward. I also believe in the power of student centered learning. Students who are able to think critically to solve problems will be able to continue learning even when working on their own. Therefore, I will challenge students to persevere through difficult content while providing the optimum level of support to reduce frustration and increase independence.Finally, I believe in a love of learning. Throughout all of my work with my students, I always strive to help students discover the joys of understanding new ideas and overcoming obstacles. I look forward to sharing these ideals with my students as I help them meet their tutoring goals.

Have you lost that loving feeling for your studies? Well stop your worrying, I'm here to help steer you out of the danger zone and get you navigating on your own. After graduating from Baylor University with a Bachelors of Science degree in Biology I'm looking to share my love for knowledge. You shouldn't worry however contagious it may be. I believe my enthusiasm for Science, History, and Math shines and with this light I will illuminate each topic in a way that works best for you. My experiences working with high-school students over two summers through NSLC, tutoring grade school students at an after-school program for a year, as well as a lifetime of tutoring my younger brother have all well acquainted me with a broad age range of learning techniques and materials. Honorable mentions to note a few would be leading cow eye dissections, sheep heart dissections, and pig skin stitching activity, start and ran a branch of MedLife organization at Baylor, and a very in depth 3 week internship at a hospital in Portugal. Like Mary Poppins showed the children to love cleaning, I too have an endless bag, but it is filled with tips and tools to love learning and I will not leave until the job is done and the student is successful. Learning to better appreciate knowledge will immediately enhance your comprehension of it.
