"I started tutoring in high school and have tutored elementary through college-aged students, as well as teaching 10th grade English for a year and serving as a teaching assistant at Harvard University and the University of Cape Town. I've tutored test prep, English, literature, writing, math, and social sciences. My undergraduate degree is from Wellesley College and my masters is from Harvard, so while I've spent seven years in Boston's frigid clime, I love being back in my hometown. I have "itchy feet," according to my dad--I love to travel, and have been to more than 20 countries. I lived in South Africa for two years on a research ...

"My mother, a small-business owner/educator and my father, an electrical engineer instilled the value of education in me at an early age. I learned a lot of my teaching style from them; patience, repetition, organization, and motivation to name a few. I began tutoring my cousins in my youth who struggled with math, science, or english. In college, this continued as I tutored underclassmen in the biological sciences, organic chemistry, algebra, and writing. After graduation, I had a natural inclination to service students in the classroom as a high school biology teacher for two years in HISD." ...

"I can honestly say that every opportunity I've had to work with students has been immensely rewarding. I come from a family of teachers and my own education began at the Key School, a private K-12 school in Annapolis, MD, where I attended from a young age until graduation. I then earned a BA at Columbia University in political science-economics and following a few years of professional work, returned to school to earn a Masters in Architecture degree at Rice University in 2006. As a college instructor, I also enjoy helping my middle and high school students begin preparing for college understanding all of the opportunities that come with ...
