Fun Facts
I love being outdoors! Whether it is playing ultimate frisbee with the Tulane Women's Ultimate Team, hiking, swimming at the beach or reading in Audubon Park, I love being outside. I always think that a sunny day and a nice cool breeze truly brings out the best in people.
About Me
I am a rising senior at Tulane University majoring in English, Italian, and Social Policy & Practice. I am also starting the Tulane 4+1 English MA program next semester. I love language, which is why I love studying English and Italian; I have greatly enjoyed the challenge of thinking critically about social issues, politics and government that comes with Social Policy & Practice. I hope to combine these interests as I plan to pursue a career in program development in the nonprofit sector.
Experience
Since high school I have worked with children in many settings. As a Hebrew school Teacher's Assistant, I helped students learning to read Hebrew by teaching them study techniques and practicing with them. I was also a Gymnastics Instructor for 5 years, teaching students basic gymnastics while also teaching communication and team-building skills, and instilling confidence. I volunteered as a Reading Tutor in local elementary schools for 4 years, working. one-on-one with students to improve.
Approach
I believe that rewarding and encouraging students are key to success. I always like to discuss students' goals initially, and keep these goals in mind throughout the student's experience-- whether it is improving grades, learning a new gymnastics skill, or feeling more comfortable with reading and writing skills. Reminding students of their potential and giving them the tools to meet their goals, while allowing them to get there independently is how I choose to lead all my tutoring sessions.
