Hi! I am currently a sophomore at University of Virginia as a Biomedical Engineering Major (Class of 2020). Although I have a background more geared towards science and math, I am more than happy to help in most high-school subjects including English/Literature, History, and ACT preparation. Feel free to contact me with any concepts you are struggling in and I will do my absolute best to guide you through the material.

...doing so! I also loved studying and excelled in American history, politics and government, and international affairs while in high school and college, and these are subjects I very much look forward to discussing with students. In my spare time, you can find me on a hike or exploring the outdoors, doing yoga, learning new songs on the keyboard, or curled up with a cup of strong, dark roast coffee and a good book.

...Notre Dame with a degree in computer science. My teaching style is simple and relaxed, putting an emphasis on what students know already and building from there. The biggest teaching mistake I believe exists is starting from a concept that a student doesn't understand and unknowingly confusing them more. My goal is to get students excited about what they're learning and constantly remind them of the "why": how it all matters in the real world.

...in order to be successful. After earning double Bachelors Degrees in Political Science and History from the University of Central Florida, I joined the Peace Corps. For two years I taught English and Social Studies in rural Liberia. Upon completion of my Peace Corps service I continued teaching High School Social Studies in Florida. Following that, I pursued a Masters in International Educational Development from Teachers College, Columbia University. My graduate degree focused on educational...

...concerns or challenges you have with the subject matter. Then, using your own materials, my materials, or a combination of the two, we begin to master the content through examples, explanation, modeling, and practice. Between sessions, I will often point the student toward additional resources that can be used in the student's own time to make our sessions more efficient. If the student is struggling with a concept, there is no reason to worry; I...

...yourself. Starting something new is usually difficult or easy for some, but continuing to do something that proves to be hard and discouraging is one of the hardest things to do in life. I wish to help instill a "never say die" attitude by aiding you in the skills I love that you wish to learn. When I'm not tutoring my primary passions, I focus the secondary ones: growing a vegetable garden, cooking and eating...

...Cornell Medical College, hoping to specialize in pediatrics! As part of my studies, I have had to take advanced biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and psychology coursework. I have also taken the SAT and MCAT, scoring above the 95th percentile on both exams. As an engineer, I prefer to apply problem-solving approaches to learn material, rather than rote memorization. Throughout my time in high school and college, I have also come across my fair share of...

...being a student taking a GRE prep course and frequently experiencing the "a-ha!" moment as a student. I knew then that giving that feeling was worth pursuing. Getting a good score on my GRE because of that training only solidified that sentiment. I believe everyone is best when challenged, though there is no simple way to do so. Everyone is their own riddle, with their own secret combination that will spring the lock into their...

...strengthening written work. With a brain for details and clear, organized logic, I am excited to support and guide students towards success in each unique goal. For some, this may be mastery, while for others, a growth mindset and more positive perspective at the challenges ahead are just as important. The time I've spent working with Girl Scouts and youth programs has refined this into my dedication to build a positive learning experience, with clear...

In that position, I helped individuals to craft resumes and practice interviewing techniques. That position allowed me to work with individuals to develop a long term career plan that would help them achieve their goals. In undergrad at the University of Illinois, I completed a degree in International Business and Marketing, with a...

...students. Learning has always been a fun and curiosity-driven process for me, and I always try to impart that same sensibility in my work. In my spare time, I enjoy reading books of all shapes, sizes, and genres but also the not-so-occasional movie. I also love cheering on my favorite athletic teams as well as teaching people about the less well-known sport of field hockey. Finally, I love taking advantage of the great and historic...

I want my students to learn! I love learning and want to share what I know! I know school and test preparation can be stressful. I remember taking the SSATs, PSATs, and the SAT and I remember that it wasn't all that much fun. However, with preparation, there are many rewards to learning, test taking and academic success! With hard work, preparation and a little help, my students will have lots to brag about too!
