Fun Facts

My passion for travelling started when I took my first solo international trip on a 4-day vacation to Cancun and ended up on a three month adventure throughout some of the most remote regions in Mexico. This special trip sparked my curiosity in countries and cultures and I have since traveled all over the world. I encourage others to be curious and ask questions about the world around them!

About Me

I was top ten in my high school class and was nominated Star Student in my county with the highest SAT score. I was admitted into University of Georgia under the Honors Program and graduated with a BS in Chemistry. I moved on to work at the Center for Disease Control and have been tutoring for more than 5 years. I believe academic success not only ensures a student's academic future, more importantly it builds a student's confidence in overcoming obstacles and I am passionate about this work.

Experience

I began my tutoring career working with academically struggling elementary and middle school students. I moved on to one on one private tutoring for high school students in math and SAT prep. I enjoy working with students in all age groups and get so much gratification from that "Aha!" moment. I have found my 5+ years of tutoring to be some of the most challenging and rewarding work.

Approach

In order to explain unfamiliar concepts, I have to build them off of familiar concepts. I like to get to know my students, understand their likes, dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. An effective tutor adapts to each student and pays attention to what works and what doesn't. It is important to recognize that each student is different and learns differently. I thoroughly enjoy the challenge of finding ways to help my student grasp a concept and succeed in their goals.
