...agency in the Washington, DC area for the past few years. My job includes creating measurable milestones to help learners achieve their goals, and determining what teaching methods will be most effective for each individual client.

In my spare time, I enjoy practicing yoga and exploring...

...the student and I can simultaneously improve in a process that never ceases to make us better. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy pretty much any activity that gets me outside, especially if that outside happens to be in the woods or near the beach (I am from Florida after all...).

I love teaching and the feeling it gives both me and my student to see improvement. Practice is key in improvement, and I will make sure to provide ample opportunity for my students to do so. I hope that my passion for teaching will rub off on...

On campus, I am a Peer Writing Consultant, and I've been a tutor for a DC organization working with students who fall behind in their school curriculums.

...math at all levels and mostly focus on math, but can also cover theoretical CS, programming in Java & C, and basic physics. I've tutored students in high school through the math honor society, and continued tutoring in college through the Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Education. My long term plan after graduation is to enter grad school, get a PhD in math, and eventually become a math professor, researching and lecturing throughout the whole process.

...an extensive background in math, science, and writing. As a tutor, I will be able to work with you across a broad range of topics.
