I am a recent graduate of Swarthmore College where I received my B.A. in physics. I had minors in mathematics and philosophy, and chose to pursue the honors program at Swarthmore, graduating with High Honors. I have experience tutoring students in high school, community college, and students attending Swarthmore. I most enjoy tutoring math and physics, since these are the subjects I love studying most on my own time. Explaining abstract ideas as a TA, as a volunteer in local schools, and as a fr...More

I am an avid test-taker and find test prep to be fascinating and - yes - fun! I've taken the LSAT and GRE; my scores were good enough to get into some pretty great schools, along with some scholarship money. I believe everyone is capable of achieving their academic goals! In my free time, I love to rock climb, and I sing with a choir. I'm also a big travel buff.

I am planning to enroll in the Latin American Studies program at the University of Oxford in September. During my junior year of college, I studied abroad in Granada, Spain where I lived with a host family and taught English at a local middle school. This experience of preparing for a class lesson and standing by the chalkboard in front of my students changed my understanding of both language and teaching. While one certainly needs a solid foundation of grammar and vocabulary basics, of equal im...More

I'm thankful to have attended a high school that allowed me the opportunity to offer academic support to my peers. There were no material incentives - the rewards were intrinsic. Thus, I learned to love teaching for its own sake. When I came to college, the opportunities only expanded. I was able to support myself through the first year of college on this skill alone. It continued to be something I enjoyed, and it ultimately led to me directing a tutoring program - the Let's Get Ready program, a...More

I am a passionate educator and writer and have worked as a tutor and classroom teacher with students of all ages and backgrounds.

I am a Ph.D. chemist who has spent a good portion of my career focused on teaching. I recently served for eight years as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Trinity College, a liberal arts college in which faculty have lots of one-on-one interactions with students. Sitting down and delving into problems with students during office hours was always one of my favorite aspects of the job. I am currently transitioning back into full time chemical research but would like to keep a connection to st...More

I am a current student at Swarthmore College. I am working towards a bachelor's degree with a focus in English literature and Asian Studies. I have experience tutoring literacy and reading with elementary school aged students through working with the nonprofit SummerCollab and my college's organization Dare2Soar. Through these experiences, I have developed a dedication to providing educational resources to low-income areas and students. I am most passionate about English literature, writing, and...More

I am a graduate of Swarthmore College and have received my Bachelor of Arts in English and Psychology. I am particularly interested in writing, both critical and creative. I have experience as a copy editor for The Phoenix, one of Swarthmore's student run newspapers, and as a news writer for The Daily Gazette, which is no longer operating. I hope to help students communicate their ideas through writing both in and out of the classroom. I would like to impart all of the lessons I have learned on ...More
