Fun Facts
I'm an only child who loves cats (in fact, I'm currently living with five of them now!), and I've always had a passion for fantasy books and science. It's a strange combination of real and unreal, but I like to think it makes me more open-minded and creative. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing fantasy and sci-fi fiction, playing video games (primarily RPGs), and making costumes (even though I'm an amateur). I'm a fantastic singer but my sense of direction is pretty terrible.
About Me
I'm a college graduate with a bachelor's from Washington University in St. Louis (class of 2017, major in psychology and minors in geology and writing). Before that, I was the valedictorian of my high school class (class of 2013). I'm taking a year or two off from school to gain some employment experience before pursuing a higher degree in psychology, and I would ultimately like to become a psychiatric therapist.
Experience
I have informally tutored both my peers and younger students throughout my schooling and have formally volunteered as a reading tutor in the past. I've always enjoyed helping students realize their potential. I am so glad I have the opportunity to do so with Frog Tutoring.
Approach
I have always enjoyed learning new things and how they apply to the real world, and I want to pass on this curiosity. I want to make sure that students understand the material they're learning and how it can be applied both in and out of the classroom. Not only that, but I would also like to impart the skills students will need beyond their tutoring - study skills, responsibility, time management, and more. I give nothing less than my full effort to each student.

Chem 1 at my university was a mixture of an extension of AP Chemistry and cutting-edge physics of atoms. The course was extremely difficult, but I did tend to do better than a large number of my peers.

Writing Tutoring

My technical grasp of writing is superb, as well.
Writing Advance Tutoring

My technical grasp of writing is superb, as well. At the advanced level, I work to strengthen pieces that have already been written. (That's not to say that I can't help brainstorming at this level, but you should be making most executive decisions about your writing on your own.)
