...political theory I studied at Whitman. At Montana State University, where I took my prerequisites, I served as a peer instructor for physics classes. Just as I did at the writing center, I tried to get students to see the fun in physics, making their studies less of a chore and more of an inquisitive process. Whenever it’s sunny and warm enough, my free time is spent rock climbing; I also volunteer with the Seattle...

...me and I entered the academic training ground of graduate school having convinced myself that the life of a small college professor, including running a small research lab and teaching classes, would bring me the most satisfaction.

My time at a fast-paced research-focused institution highlighted those conflicts and has motivated...

By exploring a subject from a variety of angles, true understanding and learning can occur....

...what it takes to succeed in school, its just a matter of finding the style of learning that is most effective for them.

...teachers have all been patient, encouraging, and enthusiastic, and I try to bring that into my tutoring. I tutor biology, everything from microbiology to environmental science. My favorite might be ecology: literally, the root words in ecology translate to "the science of the house," meaning the study of systems and parts of systems interact with each other--how different organisms within a species affect each other, or how different species affect each other, or how the...
