...students from third grade through college. I believe in getting to know a student's learning style and then using that to plan lessons and tutoring sessions. I don't want to lecture students, I want to engage them. This strategy has worked for me personally, and I have used it in my own classrooms. I want the students that I work with to have truly mastered the material, and I am dedicated to working hard to...

...with the goal to one day own a Wellness Center. During my college education, I discovered my love for teaching Spanish to all age groups.

...was beneficial to them and they did well in the lab class. I then taught lab techniques while doing fellowship at the NIH to summer students and thoroughly enjoyed it.

...asking questions. The most important skill we can develop as students and people is to realize the things that we do not know and find ways to ask questions about them. Whatever these things are, they are most certainly different for everyone, and challenging them and tackling them head on is a sure fire way to grow intellectually. Being an effective questioner and an astute observer of the unknown is a life-long task, and through...

I enjoy helping students identify their strengths, which not only helps me tailor my sessions to their specific needs, but also provides encouragement for learners who...

I think the best way for anyone to learn is to explain the new information in different ways that relate back to their own life and having a conversation about the material is the easiest way to do that. In my spare time, I love trying new food, cheering on the Washington Redskins and playing sports.

So that is what I do, I find a way to relate them to my student's interest so that they not only learn and understand but also gain some form of appreciation for the subjects I am help them with. I received my Bachelor's Degree from Xavier...

One of my favored methods in how to get past those barriers is to unpack an...

...my favorite subject. I also have worked tutoring pre-medical and pre-pharmacy students in all of the prerequisite science courses for their respective school. I have found that the best way to tutor a student is to address each students needs and gain an understanding of their unique thought process; nobody solves a problem the exact same way.
