I'm originally from Cape Elizabeth, a small town in Maine just south of Portland. I went to the west coast for college, Pomona, and came back to serve in an elementary school with AmeriCorps and work for a bit. I currently teach chess to elementary schoolers with an after school program and with Mad Science. My likely major at Pomona is Science, Technology, and Society, which is essentially the study of science as a social institution. I am pursuing a career as a teacher or a science writer, perhaps both. I used to work in a children's museum in Maine as well for two years, so I love working with kids. I love reading, anything outdoors--hiking biking, skiing, backpacking. I love traveling, and am interested in languages. I've studied Spanish for five years and started studying Russian. I used to play chess a lot when I was younger and still enjoy it. I'm curious about things and like fun science facts. I have experience tutoring high school chemistry, precalculus, SAT, AP Statistics, college macroeconomics, but am capable of tutoring many others. I'd say science and espaol would have to be my favorite subjects to teach.
