Fun Facts

I have Irish danced since the fifth grade. I was a teacher, champion-level competitor, and a performer on my company's traveling troupe. Once, we even performed in washington/vancouver">Vancouver, BC! Now I mostly dance for fun. I am a freshman in college, but the thing I miss most about high school is working with my the literary magazine, Impulse, to help produce two award-winning magazines.

About Me

I am a sophomore in the Honors Program at Temple University. I am studying Early Childhood Education, and hope to one day work in France as a teacher. For now, however, I am enjoying Philadelphia. My favorite parts of the city are the museums and beautiful architecture of the buildings.

I am currently a trained AVID philadelphia">tutor at Cooke Elementary School. Throughout middle and high school, I was an assistant teacher at my dance school. I also conducted private lessons out of my home, during which I worked one-on-one with students outside of class on steps and technique. I also have experience philadelphia">tutoring peers in math and English throughout high school.

Whenever I work with a student, I like to make the session an enjoyable, and hopefully fun, experience for both of us. I think this is very important to developing an effective relationship with students; I will know how to teach them most efficiently, and they will feel comfortable looking to me as a mentor and will learn more from the sessions. I believe that it is important not to simply give students the right answers, but to help students reach the answer by asking questions that direct them to find the correct answer themselves. This aids in their understanding while giving them a great confidence boost!
