About Me:
Hi!
I recently graduated from MIT (in 2007) with a B.S. in political science. I am also interested in a wide range of other topics, such as math, philosophy, computers, and music.
I love teaching, and have been doing so for many years. At MIT, I was a philosophy teaching assistant for three semesters. Also, through an experimental program, I was allowed to develop and teach several of my own for-credit courses for other MIT students. You can view one of them, a Current Events seminar, online at: http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Special-Programs/SP-246Fall-2004/CourseHome/. I also volunteered as a teacher through a program designed to encourage local middle school girls to study math and science.
When I was in high school myself, I spent over 200 hours as a volunteer tutor through the National Honors Society. I helped other high schoolers in subjects ranging from calculus to writing to SAT prep. I also taught piano lessons to about five young children (ages 4 through 12) throughout high school. My last summer before college, I taught music full-time to elementary students at a summer camp in Florida. Now that I have graduated from college, it is more important to me than ever to remain connected to young people through teaching.
I look forward to (virtually) meeting you soon!
