Teaching, Training and Tutoring

This gets its own heading because it’s more of a passion than a skill. Between being the child of two educators and the tutoring work I’ve done (see below), I feel in my element when I can help others learn — which in itself is a learning experience for me.

I’ve worked with high school students, college students, and adult learners from a variety of backgrounds, skill levels, and career goals. I believe that teaching (and learning) is a very individualized process and that success is found only by being adaptable and proactive in finding the right approach.

Volunteer work

Dover Adult Learning Center – While living in New Hampshire, I became a volunteer tutor for this non-profit, focusing on math education for adult students pursuing high school equivalency or college admission. I joined the board of directors and served as chair of the Governance Committee, Vice President, and ultimately President.
