...of the most pivotal stories in the bible.

...colleagues and me visit a nearby grade school to help Fourth through Eighth Graders with their Math and Reading. I love college, but I try to step outside the "ivory tower" once in a while.

Outside of class, I'm an RA, and I spend 6-8 hours a week tutoring and teaching college access courses in a nearby high school. In the future, I hope to teach high school Latin!

...not just mastered two different types of content; rather, I’ve mastered two different ways of thinking. Because I understand both the way a strong humanities student might think and the way a strong science student might think, I’m able to ‘translate’ for students who are strong in one but not the other. I can make...

...believe that education is the best way to expand not only your mind, but to improve your situation and quality of life. When I'm not teaching, I love to read, make jewelry, travel, watch Doctor Who and play with my cat, Oedipus. I am also just starting to train for 5Ks, but I am not...

My experience includes classical education, private education, adult education, parent and student education, middle school students, college prep, college level English courses, and homeschooling my own children.

Whether the math section of the ACT is making you nervous or you need some extra help keeping up in Spanish, I am confident that together, well figure out how to meet your current academic goals and develop the skills you need to face future challenges.

...well. I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2016 with a B.A. in English and Theatre. I then got my M.S.Ed from Northwestern. I have worked with children of all ages in various capacities, including teaching, and I find that the best way for students to learn is to have fun and engage them.

...involved with a student organization that tutored students at a local K-8 school who were struggling with reading and writing. My student was thirteen years old, and most of the resources for his reading level were aimed at students much younger. In order to keep him engaged, I had to get creative. We would practice...
