Hi! I'm a graduate student at Emory University studying theology, with a passion for languages and teaching. While my tutoring experience has focused primarily on ESOL for adults and reading comprehension for children, I'm especially excited to tutor in French. I've studied French since college and completed coursework at Alliance Franaise in D.C. and CAVILAM in Vichy. I have used it professionally for research and conducting trainings in North and West Africa. I keep my French sharp by reading French novels, watching French films, and speaking with a language partner in France I also majored in German and lived in Germany for three years. In 2013-14, I completed a language fellowship studying Swahili in Zanzibar and Kenya. Currently, I substitute teach part-time while in school. I also walk dogs at a local shelter. Across all my teaching, I'm committed to student-centered methods. I enjoy taking complex material and making it engaging, accessible, and fun. I am excited to meet you!

My goal is to do such a good job tutoring you that you stop needing my help. I have succeeded if I do myself out of the job! I want you to believe in yourself. Physics and math are really no great mysteries. Mastery of these subjects just requires study, practice, and a methodical approach. My qualifications: BS Mathematics, Masters and PhD Physics, more than 20 yr teaching experience, homeschooled my special-needs daughter.

I joined TFA-New York City and was assigned as a 5th Grade Special Education teacher at P.S. 325 in Harlem in 2011. I was rated an effective teacher both years. It was at P.S. 325 where I learned to use various technologies such as PowerPoint, iPad apps, an interactive SmartBoard and enthusiasm to connect with my students while teaching Math. At one point, TFA asked me to give a seminar to other Corps Members that taught them how to make their presentations more interactive and engaging. I learned how to manage multiple projects and people, while continuing to develop professionally. I engaged with the community, located just blocks from Columbia University, and began to understand the fragmentation of New York City.

I am currently in Pharmacy School at the University of Colorado - Denver. I'm in my third year and could not be more excited to start my career as a Pharmacist! Before attending Pharmacy School, I graduated from the University of Denver with a degree in Biochemistry. Obviously the sciences are where my tutoring strengths lie, especially in Biology, Anatomy, and Physiology. Don't be fooled, though! I'm also great with English, essay writing, and grammar. Plus, I'm a not-so-secret history buff, especially when it comes to European History. I've also got quite a bag of tricks when it comes to study tips, organization, and balancing studying with life.I got my start in tutoring during my undergraduate studies at DU. I was a camp counselor with a summer camp for high schoolers. The camp focused on Chemistry and Math. Afterwards, I taught PCAT review classes. My personal tutoring style involves pieces of the Socratic method; I use questions and the student's knowledge of the subject to walk through a subject piece by piece. I am patient and always willing to approach a problem from a new angle if the original approach isn't quite working.When I'm not in class, I spend a lot of time outdoors in this beautiful city I call home. I love to run and recently purchased a road bike. I think a triathlon might be in my near future! I also love to cook, adore coffee, and spend a lot of time reading. Thanks for reading, and I hope to meet you soon!

As a creative person, I've always enjoyed learning about new things through reading, traveling and experiencing things first hand. Teaching, tutoring, painting and writing are the avenues though which I best learn and express myself. I've made it a personal mission to always try new things and once I've achieved one plateau, I always seek to find the next challenge.
