Teaching is a very strong passion of mine and I intend on continuously working in the field of Education for many years. I am a firm believer that every child has the ability to learn to their fullest potentional and it is my job to give them the tools to achieve this. I believe children learn best through visual aid, repetition, and example to ensure that the information has been received and retained for future use. Given the proper attention, patience, and guidance, every child has the ability to be successful both in and outside the classroom. Every child should have the opportunity to be successful in the classroom and I strive to help make that a possibility.

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated from Duke University in 2009 with a triple-major in Biomedical Engineering, Economics, and Mathematics. I have tutored in Economics and spent four years mentoring middle-schools students in Engineering as a Techtronics Fellow.
I have never been someone who "just gets it" when it comes to math or science, and so I understand more than many people who pursued degrees in these subjects just how puzzling they can be. Math seems like it is filled with "tricks" that seem impossible to know unless you were born with some innate gift. When I teach, I seek to show, step-by-step. how to think about a problem as more than a set of symbols on paper. I seek to impart the critical thinking skills that reveal why those tricks aren't tricks at all, but are instead a natural part of the grammar of math and science.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that learning should be fun and meaningful and I want the students I work with to be inspired and engaged in their own learning process. When possible I prefer to use hands-on learning techniques. I encourage students to ask questions and make connections to the world around them. It is through constructing this knowledge that students will be able to think logically and transfer their knowledge to new situations. Through developing a meaningful relationship with each student I work with, I better understand her needs, interests and motivations and can support her learning. Through mutual respect, I can help a student to achieve at higher levels and reach her potential.

Every student can learn. My job as an educator is to adapt my teaching style to the student’s learning style, using questions as a primary tool. I give age-appropriate, ongoing verbal and written correction as necessary for sustained student growth..I have high expectations for my students. I work to enable my students to increase their independent thinking skills. I am professional, patient and caring. I expect to work privately with minimal distractions with each student.

My teaching style as a tutor is to help them to fully understand the concepts that are presented to them. After helping them with a number of problems, they should be able to do the rest on their own. I hope that by slowly guiding them, asking pertinent questions, and offering encouragement that they will become more confident in what they are doing. I also like to impart new ways of how they can help themselves, tips and tricks on how to learn new things.
