Having worked with students from a variety of backgrounds, I have learned how to adapt and adjust in order to meet my students where they are and help them reach their full academic potential.

...worked with learners anywhere from K-undergraduate levels. I really love teaching and helping students focus on the ways they learn best. For me, I've found that a holistic approach to subjectscritical thinking, essay structure, test-taking skillsis the best way to ensure success.

...performance studies including the opportunities I've had to artistically direct the work of other actors have granted me tools to adapt my interpersonal strategies and create a rich, varied instructional style. As in the classroom, it is of utmost importance in the rehearsal space to unconditionally validate the contributions of students. Through my work on- and off-stage, I have facilitated the unrestricted generation of ideas by establishing clear rehearsal and communication standards to create an...

...of elementary topics, such as algebra 1 or German word order, and complex ones, such as deontological critiques of utilitarian ethics. By valuing all levels of difficulty, I am able to give students a firm foundation, with which they can grasp truly complex ideas in the topic at hand and in their future learning. While my interests in the areas described are powerful and abundant, I also enjoy painting, composing, hiking and camping.

...understandable parallels to the content being studied. For example, I would compare a historical event to an ongoing, contemporary controversy. Or I would encourage students to think of historical figures as actual characters with goals and motivations instead of just a name on a page. Likewise, when tutoring vocabulary, I would encourage students to make an educated guess about a word's meaning by thinking of other words with similar roots. Through it all, students need...

...steadily and optimistically, both with and alongside them, until we have met every goal. Sometimes this happens earlier than planned, sometimes later. I approach the study of language with intention yet flexibility. It loses its beauty and particularity the second discouragement spreads, the instant anxiety kicks in. I believe a good tutor must do more than teach content. She offers positive reinforcement and guidance, discerning aid every step of the way. Outside of academia, I...

...when they arise. I hate memorizing, and would much prefer to make everything from Biology to History into exciting (if very small) stories that are not only easy to remember, but actively difficult to forget. I've had tutors that I hated going to, and tutors that I enjoyed spending my time with, and I do my best to emulate the latter. And, as always, I'm happy with your results when you are happy with your...

...subjects throughout college. My passion for languages shapes my preferred tutoring realm; I especially enjoy teaching others the languages I am familiar with and fluent in, which include English, German, Italian, and Spanish.

...fascination, I have spent many hours trying to figure out what makes certain learning techniques "better" than others, and I have become well versed in a variety of teaching styles. Personally, I learn through understanding, and try to teach others through that same understanding. In my spare time I like to practice piano, guitar, and, of course saxophone. I also love to sail, to read, and to draw when I have extra time.... I believe strongly...

...test: they begin to master the information and use it to approach new material with greater preparedness. I always want the learner's outcome to be a compoundable skill. For students learning to read and write better, I believe it's all about structure. There are simple constructs of idea, speaker, and audience that must be conveyed in an essay. An author utilizes these same focal points to craft a powerful written work. When an assignment comes...
