I obtained a teaching degree in both Latin and History teaching in Utah. Then moved to Texas and taught High School Latin for two years. I learned Latin from Wheelock's Latin text and I am very familiar with it. My High School curriculum used the more modern reading method, specifically the Cambridge Latin Course text. My second year teaching I taught AP Virgil and helped students work their way through large portions of the text and successfully master scansion and other poetic elements.

I am a patient and creative teacher. I tailor my approach to the individual personality and learning style of the student. I enjoy working with children and am determined to help them bloom, whatever the subject matter. I am personally a lifelong learner, and my ultimate goal is to share the experience of academic discovery in a structured and useful way. I am a recent graduate of Oberlin College, a school known for producing "lifelong learners". As a Neuroscience major, I studied many areas of science, including biology and chemistry, but am also proficient in English and Art. I have previously been an assistant camp teacher in early childhood education, but I have also taught animation techniques to children ages 8-14 in a summer internship position with the National Children's Museum in Washington, DC.

I have a strong educational background in liberal arts. I am particularly adept at writing and philosophy, but can teach most areas on a high school or grade school level. I taught High School students, made presentations to classes, tutored middle school children, and have taught elementary children as well. My best teaching style involves facilitating group discussions. I particularly love the one to one teaching experiences while tutoring. I like facilitating the learning experience rather than just imparting information. It is a process of mutual discovery where teacher and student embark on a journey to discover truth.

My drive for teaching comes from my belief that any person can learn anything (and enjoy it!). My teaching philosophy strives to accomplish two goals: first, to establish a relationship between the student and the material that makes the subject fun, interesting and exciting. This ensures the active commitment of the student to the necessary work. Second, to present the material at hand in its simplest form to facilitate faster comprehension coupled with greater retention of information. No matter the subject, I look to teach the information in a way that not only builds strength in that particular area, but also fosters a love of learning and provides the tools to continue to learn more successfully in the future across curricula. I have always been driven to excel by my passion for learning and sharing what I know. At Cornell University, I earned my BA in Classics in 3.5 years, complet

My teaching strategy can be summed up in two words: encouragement and enthusiasm. I believe that once I have given a student the tools to succeed, he or she can do so - with enough encouragement. My students at Indiana University have all noted on their course evaluations that my encouraging and positive attitude has helped them improve their reading and writing skills. I also believe that in a tutor, enthusiasm for the subject matter is key. I am incredibly enthusiastic about reading, writing, and grammar, among other things; I know that I pass this enthusiasm on to my students. Once students are enthusiastic about a subject area, they are much more likely to work hard and succeed in that subject. My main goal as a tutor is to make sure that students are excited and confident about the subject, so that once they have the skills to succeed, they can do so. I have recently graduated f
