Fun Facts
I love learning new things and I've always been a teacher in one form or another. Right now, I'm really into anthropology, foreign languages, and tasting/ cooking food from around the world! I hope to travel internationally again one day. So far, I've only been to China but it was amazing!
As you'll see in my profile, I'm very artsy...
About Me
I started teaching arts entrepreneurship in the music department at NC State University in 2015, and I really love it! I get to help college students design and market small, arts-related businesses in everything from theater to hip-hop to fashion to crafts, and it's a very rewarding and creative way to spend my days. I was a music major in college and grad school. I am an orchestral clarinetist, and I continue to teach clarinet and piano lessons to students of all ages. My strongest subject areas are reading-comprehension/north-carolina/raleigh">reading comprehension, writing/ research, literature and language arts, history, social studies, music, and anything on the humanities side of things.
Experience
My formal raleigh">tutoring career began as a graduate student at the University of South Carolina, raleigh">tutoring first-year athletes in reading-comprehension/north-carolina/raleigh">reading comprehension, writing, study strategies, and time-management. With Frog raleigh">Tutoring, I have worked with middle school and high school students in a variety of subject areas, but I tend to focus on reading, writing, history/ social studies, and general academic coaching for students struggling with study skills, time management, and organization.
Approach
My ultimate objective is to develop independence and confidence in my students. Many students overcome academic obstacles simply by developing better study habits and test-taking skills, setting goals, and developing better time-management skills. However, many of us experience extreme difficulty with a particular subject. For me, it was always math. My struggles were a source of shame and anxiety for me, and I want to provide my students with the ally I needed as a kid.
