Fun Facts

Growing up, I spent my time between a tiny, rural Pennsylvanian town of just over 3,000 people and the beach city of San Diego. I'm a book nerd, and have loved reading and writing since I learned how to do it. My favorite book changes all the time, but I think overall, it's Jane Eyre.

About Me

I am recently graduated cum laude and with honors from New York University with a major in media studies. In high school, I was on the Principal's Honor Roll every semester, was a member of the National Honor Society, and maintained a GPA of over 4.0. I'm currently taking a year off before continuing my studies at the University of Southern California.

Experience

As the eldest of three and an experienced babysitter, I've found myself in teaching situations with children of all ages. I spent several months last year working as an au pair in Spain, where I took care of two little girls and helped to teach them English. While there, I volunteered to teach an ESL class at a senior center. I've also assistant taught art classes, and will be spending this summer teaching art to kids at a day camp.

Approach

I find that I learn best by doing, and I applying this to my tutoring method. Instead of just giving a student the answer, I prefer to guide them to it through positive reinforcement and allow them to work through whatever the problem is. Not only will the student learn the material better this way, but they will improve their critical thinking and problem solving skills at the same time.
