Fun Facts
I love musical theater, although I can't sing at all. I also like to spend my time running, playing the cello, and studying Japanese. I grew up in New Jersey, but moved to Portland when I started college.
About Me
I have a Bachelor of Arts in chemistry from Reed College, where I was commended for excellence in scholarship. I'm planning to attend graduate school next year and enter a career in chemistry research.
Experience
I spent last year teaching English at a high school in Japan. My teaching experiences before that ranged from homework help for elementary school students to leading tours of a nuclear reactor. I've been tutoring one-on-one in a variety of subjects since high school. I’m comfortable working with students of any age and level, and am excited to continue helping people learn.
Approach
I focus on talking to the student about their needs and adapting to their level and learning style. I keep students actively engaged with the material, and incorporate their strengths and interests into how I teach. With this personalized approach, I find ways for students to deeply understand the content and enjoy the tutoring session.
