Experience

I have seven semesters of teaching experience as an Associate Instructor at Indiana University. I know what college professors expect incoming first-year students to have learned in high school, and what they expect college seniors to have learned. Every semester I've taught, it's been my responsibility to meet individually with students to give special instruction, to improve their performance, and to guide them in developing effective study habits. While in Indiana, I also volunteered with my local library's adult literacy program. There I worked with an adult learner who is studying for her GED. I'm grateful to have gotten to work with such a self-motivated, self-disciplined student. I have private tutoring experience through a Boston-local tutoring agency, where I've developed skills and strategies for teaching math and science in person and over Internet videochats. I find this is very convenient for both student and teacher, as shorter sessions can be scheduled and travel time is not a concern.

Hobbies

The modern classroom doesn't serve the needs of all students. Too many students believe that they are "bad at math", or "bad at science", when their real struggle has been with the demands of one-size-fits-all education. Some students miss out on learning in school because they have their own troubles at home in life, or with specific teachers or teaching styles. And some subjects - such as Evolution - are simply not taught in all school systems. My approach: Understanding scientific material and the scientific process are skills that you can learn. My role is to help my students build the math and science skills which will allow them to meet their personal, academic, and professional goals. Lessons are guided by each student's needs and strengths, not by a pre-set curriculum.
