Experience

I never thought I would enjoy tutoring until I started doing it. Turns out: I love it. Its unbelievably rewarding to see the sudden spark of comprehension when a student understands the material suddenly. I am a big believer in the idea that if you cant explain something simply, you don't understand it well enough. I remember how wonderful it was to have a teacher that actually cared about me as an individual growing up, and I can think of no better way to give back than through tutoring students who are struggling. Experience: Tutored with Princeton Tutoring, including structure of argument in composition writing and history papers, as well as calculus and astronomy. Worked in Princeton Public Library Tutored through National Honor Society Worked with Middle Country Public Library, Green Teens, taught students about the environment and conservation.

Hobbies

I prefer to be outside when I can manage it, and enjoy all types of nature. I have climbed mountains in the Adirondacks and the Midwest, and have gone spelunking in Carlsbad Caverns and Howe's Caverns. When I'm not outside, I enjoy reading, especially Lord of the Rings, and I am interested in cinema and theatre. I "read my way through Europe" in high school, meaning that I started with Russia and worked my way West across a map, reading the major works of literature each nation had to offer. It was a lot more fun than it sounds, believe me.
