Visiting Instructor Yale University, Divinity School, New Haven, CT 2005-2006 I taught an introductory course in religious education to graduate students. Teaching Fellow Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton, NJ 1999-2007 I graded papers and taught weekly one-hour discussion classes in graduate courses in religious education and counseling that supplemented the professor’s lectures. I am currently doing full-time research in education and want to do part-time tutoring because I miss working directly with students. I enjoy tutoring students who are having an extremely difficult time staying in school. I also enjoy working with students who simply need help with one particular learning hurdle that's got them stumped. I work in a very relaxed fashion and with a sense of humor not only because this is fun for me, but because most people learn best in such an atmosphere.
