Fun Facts
I am a mother and a wife who loves to cook and entertain. At least once a month, my family and I will host a large dinner party. I also love to travel. At any given time, you will find me looking up a new recipe or a new place to travel to.
About Me
I graduated from Northwestern University with a double major in Human Communication Sciences and Communication Studies, and a double minor in History and Pre-Medicine. After school, I worked in pharmaceutical sales for years, educating physicians and medical staff on the clinical benefits, mechanisms of action, prescription, and studies surrounding my products.
Experience
Throughout college and high school, I worked / volunteered as a tutor. A few years ago, after briefly working as a middle school science teacher for a charter school in Gary, IN, I began working as a private tutor. Over the last four and a half years, I have worked predominantly with middle school and high school children tutoring subjects in math and science.
Approach
As a tutor, I first want to understand how each student learns. From there, I like to create a simple process that will enable to the student to systematically identify and solve the problems at hand. I don't give answers; rather, I continue to reinforce concepts by asking questions and allowing the student to verbalize the process and why it applies to the problem at hand. Having worked with a variety of student learning styles, I believe all children can learn, with positive reinforcement.
