Fun Facts
Outside of tutoring, I'm a cat enthusiast, a piano player, and a big fan of getting lost in a great fantasy novel.
About Me
I graduated summa cum laude from Gettysburg College. After getting my Masters degree from Columbia University, I worked as an adjunct political science professor. Later, I pursued my passion for public interest law and have been a practising attorney for 3 years. With a strong foundation in academics and hands-on experience, I'm here to help students excel.
Experience
I have extensive experience as an adjunct professor of political science to both undergraduate and graduate students. My classes covered key topics in politics as well as academic writing and analysis. Additionally, I've worked one-on-one with high school students as a tutor and homework assistant, helping them sharpen their comprehension and analytical skills.
Approach
I understand that each student learns in their way so I use an approach that is both patient and adaptable. I strive to create an encouraging environment, using positive reinforcement and flexible strategies to support each student's unique path to understanding.
