Fun Facts

I am originally from Houston, Texas and love supporting my Houston sports teams! I enjoy playing the piano, playing video games, and playing with my hamster, Hamlet. I'm also a big Star Wars and Harry Potter nerd.

About Me

I am a graduate student earning my Master's degree in English at St. John's University. Last winter, I also earned my Bachelor's degree in English with a minor in Creative Writing from St. John's. My undergrad GPA was 3.95, and my grad GPA is also 3.95. As an undergrad I was inducted into a variety of honors societies, and as a grad student I have been serving on my department's organizing committee for graduate students. My dream is to become a high school AP English teacher.

Experience

I have experience tutoring test prep (SAT and ACT), writing, math, Latin, Spanish, and a variety of other subjects and skills. Since my ultimate goal is to become a teacher, I look for as many tutoring opportunities as possible and find it to be very rewarding work.

Approach

I understand that most students do not necessarily want to be tutored. Who wants to deal with schoolwork and learning outside of school? Therefore, I do my best to make my tutoring sessions fun and stress-free. Of course, I help my students to understand the necessity of grasping the concepts and making good grades, but I also try to show that doing so doesn't have to be a completely miserable process.
