...students on a one-on-one basis, and these types of sessions are typically most productive. Learning mathematics is a lot like picking up a musical instrument. If you absorb the ideas of a learning unit, and then practice the material, you can expect to be able to play that instrument, and play it relatively well, over...

...and translation fascinated me immensely. I love working and communicating with people, so I decided to start my career as a Teacher. Over the course of fourteen years as a German Teacher, my approach to student education has shifted from an emphasis on my teaching to a more central focus on student learning. Every classroom...

...subject imaginable. We didn't just learn English; we explored the world. Our journey in the classroom wasn't limited to papers, grammar, and vocabulary though they were important components. We explored history through our novel readings, debated and wrote essays using primary sources from the Library of Congress, and changed a governor's viewpoint on the environment...

...career, I continued to hone skills of science while working for The United States Geological Survey outside of Washington, D.C. Here I obtained a wide variety of laboratory and field knowledge prior to beginning a Master's in Aquatic Ecology at Purdue University. Since enrollment, I have completed graduate studies for a cumulative seven years of...
