"My name is Ivy. I graduated Dickinson College summa cum laude with a B.A. in archaeology and classical studies with a minor in geosciences. I believe in the liberal arts model of education, where students have more agency in their learning experience and are able to learn the material on their terms. I aim to teach in an interdisciplinary manner and to foster an appreciation for critical thinking, connectivity, and inquisitiveness.
I am experienced in childcare, having been an accredited camp counselor (ages 5 to 11) for 5 years. I have practical experience with subjects in archaeology and geosciences, and I have experience with Latin and Attic Greek as a classical studies major and editor of the Dickinson College Commentaries (DCC). Finally, I have tutored my college peers and have served my academic community at college as president of both my college's Archaeology Club and our chapter of Eta Sigma Phi (Natl Classics Honors Society). In my Latin and Greek tutoring, I use flashcards, mneumonics, charts, and other organized resources to aid with language memory and practice.
I hope to help students gain confidence in learning and grow appreciation for subjects both familiar and unfamiliar. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, comments, or concerns." less...
