Tutoring

My goal is to make learning fun, relevant, and long-lasting -- for adults and for teens.

By day, I work in Educational Outreach at the University of Washington, focusing on planning academic programs in the arts. In addition, I engage in theatre and I tutor in a range of subjects. I hold an MFA in Theatre Arts from Brandeis University and a Ph.D. in Performance Studies from New York University (as well as a B.A. from our own University of Washington), and I love to tutor in areas related to arts and communication. But I also have experience with the GRE, general college preparation, and general academic subjects, including a reading knowledge of Spanish.

As a tutor, my method is to "step into the shoes" of the student, in order to understand the student's goals and to help the student reach those goals. This is the method I employ in theatre, when working as a research advisor on a production, and I find that this method lets other artists shine both onstage and off. It can do the same for students in all subject areas, and I look forward to working with you.
