Fun Facts

I spent much of my childhood on the farm my mother grew up on in Western Nebraska; because of this I have grown to love the Midwest and riding horses. I kept busy in high school by swimming competitively and participating in various academic clubs and teams. I traveled to Nicaragua in April 2010, where I discovered a love for surfing and working with the natives to help improve their hospitals and hospices. I took Spanish for five years, and I find it to be one of the most beautiful languages,

About Me

I am a fourth year Biochemistry and science/georgia/atlanta">Computer Science major at the Georgia Institute of Technology; and my goal after I complete my undergraduate degree is to go on to graduate school and obtain my Ph.D. and work as a professor and researcher in bioinformatics. I work in an electrochemical laboratory at Georgia Tech and I love the work I do. I really enjoy working with people and I relish a challenge. I am good at communicating with people and I strive to build a rapport with the students I work with and I become very invested in my students, ensuring that their success and goals are always top priority.

Experience

Throughout high school I worked with students ranging from sixth grade to twelfth grade in all subjects. I most commonly tutored in math, science, and English. The students I worked with were both local and exchange students from various cultures, with differing levels of skill in the English language. I tutored several elementary and high school age Hispanic and German students, practicing conversational English and working on their full range of coursework.

Approach

My mother is a seventh and eighth grade teacher and has largely influenced my atlanta">tutoring approach, and inspired me to become a teacher myself. My atlanta">tutoring approach varies in some aspects with each student, I observe the student and work to build a healthy atlanta">tutoring relationship in order to make the student as comfortable as possible and to ensure optimal communication. I work to understand what motivates each student and what ultimately leads them to thrive. I assess their strengths and weaknesses
