I am a student at Missouri State University obtaining my bachelor's degree in Global Studies. I learned Spanish through classes in high school and college, and later demonstrated it by moving to Guatemala to teach English.

During my undergraduate studies, I spent an extensive period of time in the Chemistry department as a teaching assistant, working with students in the laboratory and the classroom to improve both practical and conceptual knowledge of the course material. It is important for me to find every individual...

I graduated from the University of Notre Dame in applied math. I have experience tutoring ACT and math. I'm very good at communicating concepts in an easy to understand manner.

...aged siblings in Algebra and Pre-Algebra subjects. I also have experience tutoring middle school aged children all of which was on an informal, volunteer basis.

...coding, and science, and I want to share that with my students! I am sad to see students who think they can't master these subjects because they've never had the right help and support to learn. I always try a number of different approaches and explanations to see what works for a student. Some people like formulas, while others like pictures. I work for that moment when a difficult concept finally makes sense.

...given in group classes overburden students with strategies and bring needless complexity to an already complex test. My approach, instead, is guided feedback tailored to a student's weaker points based on 1-on1 assessment. Rather than sit and listen to me lecture for 2 hours, the students will drill problem sets under my supervision and receive explanations and mini lessons after each attempt. I've found this approach both highly gratifying to my students and highly efficient...
