I'm very excited about helping students in the greater Washington area!."

My strengths lie in reading, writing and all things humanities. I have a genuine love for tutoring and the subjects I teach, and I aim to create an open, informative and effective atmosphere with my students, one that can shape them into philosophers, or true lovers of knowledge."
