Experience Summary
I am an enthusiastic teacher with a diverse background who loves teaching and learning. I’m ready to help you excel at your studies, especially in the sciences, English, or math.
I earned a bachelor’s degree from Whitman College. Whitman strives to give students a broad-based education with a strong foundation in oral and written communication. With my major in Geology, I have the experience to help a high school student in calculus, biology, chemistry, and physics.
In college, I helped a fifth grader with reading and math skills. I was also an academic adviser, helping fellow students with editing, study skills, and course counseling.
Currently, I lead educational kayak tours in Kealakekua Bay. I’m ready to help make learning fun!
Teaching Style
My passion for the outdoors informs my teaching style. I think that experience and discovery are the best ways to learn and try to give learning experiences that foster wonder and curiosity. Education needs to be engaging for learning to happen. It is best when lessons are augmented with games, skits, presentations, art or field trips. Information needs to be presented to students in ways they can absorb it, and I work patiently and enthusiastically with many different types of learners. I love learning, and I want to inspire you to a lifetime of learning.
