It is my duty to offer assistance and guidance in that endeavor, and to never forget that a student is also a person with experiences and knowledge of their own. To an extent, teaching, and thus tutoring, goes both ways if conducted correctly.

I took a variety of courses while there, including history, chemistry, biology, economics, political science, and teacher education. Additionally, I was on the Dean’s List throughout my undergraduate career.

I had a four month long internship at Grand Ledge High School in Grand Ledge, Michigan. There, I often taught as many as five classes of World History. Prior to that, I have taught, tutored, and observed in three schools around the Lansing Area. These include a 10th grade social studies classroom at J.W. Sexton High School, an ESL and an 11th grade social studies class at MacDonald Middle School, and an after-school program for ESL and at-risk students at Lansing Eastern High School.

One of my greatest experiences was in 2010 when I participated in an MSU Summer Study Abroad Program in Rome. I lived and studied there, as well as had the opportunity to travel to Venice, Pompeii, and the Italian Riviera; Paris and Versailles in France; and Amsterdam and Utrecht in the Netherlands. My main motivation for going was my love for history, and so I made sure to visit every museum and historical landmark I possibly could.
