I think deeply about the processes of learning and teaching. I find myself examining Cognition and Education in a multitude of varying contexts.

In addition to tutoring Precalculus and SAT prep, I currently conduct research at Project Zero into how children learn to understand complex causal concepts such as Ecosystems and lead the Elementary portion of Open Minds (a Harvard-wide Philosophy for Children program). I also teach swimming and am organizing the swim instructor community around questions of best practices, work with Instructors at Artisan's Asylum to help improve their pedagogy, audit a class on interdisciplinary patterns at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and am preparing a class for the Spring on bridging the fields of Neuroscience and Education.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Study Skills

I have experience tutoring a 7th grader and 8th grader in study skills. During the course of my tutoring, not only did their grades significantly improve, but their attitude toward school and homework shifted, and they gained the self confidence to complete all of their assignments on their own. I stress the importance of little organizational strategies (such as writing down the homework from all the different classes in one assignment notebook) which can lead to great differences in how overwhelming...
