Tutoring Center Experience:

• Faculty Associate, Science and Math Learning Center, James Madison University, 2016-2017

  As part of my teaching assignment in 2016-2017, I worked as a faculty tutor in the Science and Math Learning Center for 8 hours each week. My primary responsibilities were in the statistics area of the center. I tutored students taking introductory statistics and mathematics courses and provided training and guidance for the student statistics tutors.
