PhD The Catholic University of America • BA Boston University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Medieval European History at the Catholic University of America, which means that I am a life-long learner who believes in the power of the humanities. My greatest attributes as a teacher are my patience, empathy, and humor - and of course my memory for random historical facts! I am originally from Columbus, Ohio and moved to Boston in 1999 to attend Boston University. There, I majored in History and English and minored in French, receiving my B.A. in 2003. I went on to receive an M.A. in Medieval History from Catholic University in Washington D.C. in 2007, and my Ph.D. dissertation, which is on religious women in 15th century Italy, is slated for completion in 2014. I currently reside in the New York City area as I finish researching and writing my thesis. I have taught World History (101-102), Medieval Europe and Pre-Modern Historical Seminar at the University level. My most recent teaching position was at Harvard as a teaching fellow for a class called Making the Middle Ages. Doing history well means being a convincing writer, and I have experience helping students at all levels write with both substance and style. In addition to perfecting English language skills for tests or essays, I love sharing knowledge about other languages like French, Latin, and Italian. Since I study a period that can be confusing - in languages other than my own- I am good at figuring out how to present complex material using diverse and engaging methods. Each of us has a different way in which we learn best and no way is better than another! As far as my interests outside of academia, I have a true passion for theatre. My performance experience helps me to be an outgoing and enthusiastic instructor who excels at both strictly organized lectures and more improvisational lessons. I have held numerous positions in arts non-profits in both Boston and D.C., as I love having jobs that support the community and promote creativity. In such customer service positions I have learned to communicate with people from all walks of life in a down-to-earth way. Thus, I have become a great listener, a quick problem-solver, and a better teacher. I look forward to using these skills to to create a unique and challenging tutoring plan centered around your needs.

PhD Boston University • MS Boston University

My undergraduate degree is in Music (Flute and Composition), from Berklee College of Music. I had been working in mental health prior to my music degree, so when I returned to school, it was for a PhD in Psychology from Boston University. I followed this with a Master of Business Administration also from Boston University. My motivation here was to better understand business and organizations, the way I had come to understand people. After graduation, I worked as a Unit Clinical Director at the Bridgewater maximum security mental health hospital under a contract that Mclean Hospital had with the Massachusetts Department of Correction. Since McLean is part of the Havard Medical School system, I was also appointed of Instructor in Psychology, Harvard Medical School, and supervised other clinicians in training. I also taught psychology courses at Boston University and the University of Lowell. I left McLean to become Clinical Director of the Massachusetts Depart of Mental Health Hospital Division. Following that, I worked briefly for a private national rehabilitation company, before starting my own company BHM International with another psychologist. Through BHM, we provided training and technical assistance to grantees of the Federal Government, such as clinics and Head Start programs, as well as hospitals and health systems in developing countries. After more than ten years, I shifted focus to becoming trained and certified in information technology and project management. I taught for two years as Professor & Executive Coach for the Executive MBA Program at the University of Maryland University College, Graduate School of Management and Technology. Thereafter, I worked as a proposal manager and project manager for various companies, mostly recently for Amazon. I still enjoy playing the flute, and my other relaxing activities are writing poetry, cycling, weightlifting and flexibility training. I consider myself a seeker and sharer of wisdom. There's always more to learn, and more to share to help others along their own growth paths.

My undergraduate degree is a Bachelor of Arts from Goddard College with a concentrationin biology.

As a result of this training and myyears working with non-fiction writers, I bring a wealth of experience in finding many ways to help students understand complex concepts.I also like to call myself an academic coach. A coach helps students understand the material in front of them. A coach also pays closeattention to building a student's academic "muscles." My goal is always to equip the student with the intellectual and analytical toolsthat will enable them to succeed not just in school but in all their endeavors. My reward comes from watching the student grow andbecome an independent thinker.My joy in tutoring comes from seeing a student "get it" for the first time and in seeing the student's confidence grow as we work together.

After a 15 year career in chemistry, I now primarily practice Acupuncture in Brighton. I still love the subject, and enjoy tutoring students in Organic and General Chemistry.Chemistry is really not so hard as it first appears to be. There are a few key concepts that I like to pass along that can clarify and simplify the problem sets that students face. In some cases, it is a matter of being able to express a problem in mathematical terms. In others it is being able to visualize exactly what happens in a reaction. After being pointed in the right direction, and with a little practice, most any student can excel in chemistry.

My educational history includes a major in General Biology and minor in Psychology from the University of California, San Diego, as well as a Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree from Boston University. My educational interests include anatomy and physiology, kinesiology, neurobiology/psychology, algebra, and child and adolescent psychology. My personal interests vary from cooking to hiking to watching and playing just about every sport possible.I have had many years of tutoring experience in both a class and 1-on-1 setting. My longest experience involved tutoring a group of 10-12 7th and 8th grade students; which included but was not limited to completing schoolwork, preparing for STAR testing, and providing additional quizzes and questions when necessary. I have also had several years of part-time tutoring jobs for children in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th grade, with additional experience in 1-on-1 tutoring with 2 SAT students.My experience with teaching stems from not just an instructor's perspective, but also as a student; attending after school tutoring from the age of 13 to 17 years old. I believe this is one of the reasons I can connect to students so easily, because I understand the difficulties with learning. My tutoring sessions involve a very interactive approach on the part of the student with a reward based approach for their efforts. This is my way of promoting student interest in the topics of study, to prevent monotony and boredom with school work. I like to try to incorporate games into my tutoring sessions that may include topics they have learned; whether it's a memory card game, jeopardy, or a simple game of hangman.As your tutor, I will do my best to not only help your student excel at school, but also find fun in learning.

Lead by example is my teaching philosophy. If you expect your students to be punctual, you must show up on time. If you expect your students to exhibit a positive attitude, you must bring your best energy everyday. If you expect your students to work hard, you must work even harder. It is important to set clear expectations from the first day of class whether regarding attendance, attitude, participation, grading, or culture. I am a very warm, encouraging, energetic teacher. Learning is a balance between structure and having fun. I make sure to set a leadership role from the very beginning. I love to laugh, joke, and smile with my students while making sure they understand the purpose of the class is to learn, evolve, and expand their minds and horizons. I encourage them to ask important questions and to never be afraid. It is OK to make mistakes. I do not demand perfection: I ask for evolution. Students will work harder if they realize why they are in the class. It is the teachers responsibility to remind them. For instance, what is the greater goal? What do they hope to achieve? How can we make the present moments count towards a larger vision? The test is just a piece of paper unless they realize it means a lot more in terms of setting the standard for discipline, creativity, measuring their progress, and work ethic.
