All students can thrive with individual attention and instruction, and that is why I'm thrilled to be a part of Varsity Tutors.... My teaching is guided...

...passionate about public affairs, community, and social justice. Self-confidence and empowerment are critical and often underestimated keys to learning. When I tutor a student, I also want to work with them to identify, appreciate, and build on their strengths, as well as feel empowered to ask questions and be curious.
