I earned my bachelor's degree in Interior Design, Business, and Textile Science from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and went on to study Historic Preservation and Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin, where I earned my Master of Science degree. All my studies involved a lot of research and writing, along with public speaking, study of general and art history, and using logic and reasoning. When I am tutoring, I prefer to use a "learning lab" format, where my student and I discuss the material using critical thinking. I find it important to get to know my students enough so I can present the material in such a way that it resonates with them on an individual... Read more
