I'm a PhD candidate in Political Science with extensive tutoring and teaching experience.

I have expertise in any verbal subject, including ESL, reading (comprehension, analysis; all levels), writing (creative, persuasive, expository, etc; all levels), GRE Verbal or Writing, SAT Verbal or Writing, vocabulary, and grammar. I'm also qualified to tutor social studies, including AP Government. I've worked with all ages, from elementary-aged children to adults, and enjoy each age group.

I have a proven track record of helping students exceed their goals. While teaching ESL to adults abroad, several students commented that I was the most professional instructor the Program had had in recent memory, and all of my forty-four students felt more confident using English. Similarly, as a tutor with the Community College Foundation, all of my students exceeded their goals (as demonstrated by entrance-exit evaluations).

My teaching philosophy is simple: get to know the student - her strengths, challenges, and goals. Present the material in ways that appeal to her strengths. Along the way, lead by asking questions and by example. Recognize achievements and progress.

I have a unique ability to collaborate with students to determine their needs and help them meet their goals. As a PhD candidate and Teaching Assistant, I will bring professionalism, excellent study skills, and strong experience in pedagogy to the job. I look forward to discussing in more detail how I can help you (or your child) succeed.

On a personal note, I am well-rounded and can talk to just about anyone, about anything. I enjoy reading, movies, cuisine, swimming, biking, walking, current events, and travel. I spend as much time as possible with my friends, family, boyfriend, and rescue kitty. I'm originally from San Francisco, and I love my City by the Bay.
