Fun Facts

I was in Color Guard in my high school marching band, so I could easily chicago">tutor in that area as well. I perform stand-up comedy and improv, and I try to throw humor into chicago">tutoring to make learning a fun experience! I am a book worm and enjoy reading everything from fiction and non-fiction to theory, including text books.

About Me

I attend maryland/columbia">columbia">maryland/columbia">columbia-college-chicago">maryland/columbia">columbia">maryland/columbia">columbia-college">maryland/columbia">columbia">maryland/columbia">Columbia College Chicago as a Senior, and will graduate Spring 2015. My cumulative GPA is 3.68. I'm a declared Honors Student, and have been on the Dean's List.

I will be auditioning for the Conservatory Program at Second City after graduation and had a very successful semester there last Spring through maryland/columbia">columbia">maryland/columbia">Columbia's Study Abroad Program.

I am a recipient of the Alumni Bookstore Scholarship, Elma Stuckey Scholarship, David R. Rubin Scholarship and the Presidents Club Scholarship.

From a young age I have always enjoyed learning and sharing knowledge with others. In Elementary School and Middle School, I was selected as an advanced student to help with Title I readers to develop their abilities and reading-comprehension/illinois/chicago">reading comprehension.

Later in life, throughout high school and earlier years in college, I led study groups and one-on-one study sessions with my peers in areas of Algebra that were challenging. When my own mother decided to go back to school in her mid-forties and had forgotten all but basic math skills, I would sit down with her three times a week and chicago">tutor her through Pre-Algebra, College Algebra I, Advanced Algebra, and eventually her Math and Statistics for Business Majors classes. She received A’s in each class!

Every individual learns differently. The three major variances are Audio, Visual and Tactile. My chicago">tutoring approach involves tailoring the intake of information to the unique needs of the student. Regardless of the subject matter, I strive to creatively come up with solutions to engage a student that will prove beneficial to their retention of the subject and further success in their education. Following in the example of my own professors, I believe implementation of critical pedagogy is crucial to a student’s success. It not only cultivates a mastery of the subject being studied, but also develops skills to apply those specific learning techniques to other subjects and interests in everyday life!
