Fun Facts
I am from LA and have 2 younger siblings. I am a huge fan of the NBA. I love comedy movies but most of my favorite movies are dramas. I enjoy playing all sorts of sports including basketball, soccer, baseball, and volleyball. I absolutely love watching all sorts of sitcoms and TV shows like The Office, Seinfeld, Arrested Development, Game of Thrones, and Malcolm in the Middle.
About Me
I am a senior History major at UCLA. I have been on the Deans List every quarter and I am an Alumni Scholar. I have presented history research in front of Alumni as well as at UCLA's Annual History Undergraduate Research Conference. My goal is to become a teacher and help students grow into inquisitive and thoughtful adults.
Experience
The majority of my experience is having worked as a tutor with Los Angeles Student Educational Outreach (LASEO) in previous years. Additionally I have more often than not been the leader in study groups for various classes in subjects from history to science, helping my peers to understand the material in preparation for a test.
Approach
My main goal when it comes to tutoring is to help the student comprehend the information presented, organize it in a fashion that helps them to make it of use to them, and having them be able to explain the information back to me. If the student can explain it, they can master the material and get a good grade. This approach is great for essay writing and studying for tests.

Homework Coach Tutoring
I am a positive person with patience and a goal-oriented mind. I feel that these attributes would be well suited for keeping a student on task and helping them complete homework.
Reading Comprehension Tutoring
Both in general education courses as well as my major courses there has been a lot of reading material. Especially as a history major, comprehension of reading entails more than just the understanding the of words but also the understanding of context, connotation, and denotation of those words. I believe that this has made me particularly well suited for tutoring in reading comprehension.
