Fun Facts

I love to bake, and I'm always on the lookout for new recipes to try out. I have taken two semesters worth of Combat Ninjutsu, which I highly recommend as a self-defense class if you can take it! I have lived in Korea and would love to go travel to other parts of the world. I enjoy watching movies but enjoy watching movie analyses even more.

About Me

I am a first year Masters English student at New York University. When I graduate I hope to enter an English Ph.D. program. My future plans are to eventually be a Professor of English and hopefully one focused on British literature.

Experience

While an undergraduate I was a Peer Learning Facilitator and assisted fellow undergraduate students in improving their writing, either for term papers, lab reports, or resumes. I offered support and tools for them to utilize in future writing projects. After graduation, I spent several months in Korea teaching ESL at an after-school tutoring company called Chung Dahm Learning. I enjoyed helping students not only with their testing skills but also in expanding their conversational tools.

Approach

I understand the difficulties of trying to concentrate on work that you don't fully understand. As a child, I would refuse to read my school books until I found stories that motivated me to push forward and read them. I want to be a tutor that motivates students into finding aspects of difficult subjects that they enjoy and building on their skills from there. By doing this, I believe that tutoring can offer more motivation for students to have more interest in their studies.
