Finally, as a university educator working with undergrads, I know how to develop the skills needed to get into a good college and more importantly - to succeed once there.

...has experienced many setbacks, yet still has chosen and is still choosing to set initially-believed-to-be-unachievable goals and explore any opportunity because I knew that there was no limit to what I could do. As a young child, I bought into the commonly-held belief that talent and "natural" intelligence was what helped some individuals stand out and others slide into mediocrity. So, for a very long period of time, I was "inherently" extremely quiet and "unsuitable"...

I already mentioned I love history, so it shouldn't come as a shock that I can name all the U.S. Presidents in order both backwards and forwards.

...University of Maryland as a Secondary Education and Government and Politics double major. I am passionate about the realm of education and creating change in my community.

I hope to eventually pursue a career in education policy, where I can help to enact necessary changes in our education system.

...All of the layers and nuances seem intimidating and peculiar at first, but once you get an idea of how and why everything is connected, it all starts to make sense and the material becomes a lot more palatable. One thing I learned from tutoring government (and one of my favorite parts of tutoring as a whole) is how incredibly satisfying it is when someone is finally comfortable and confident with a topic they've been...

...a variety of subjects. I graduated in 2016 with a degree in Classical Studies from Bowdoin College, but would probably be most helpful in English, biology, and American history. I received a "5" on all AP tests for Literature, Biology and US History in high school, and love those subjects dearly.

...War College, with any writing assignment at any stage. My teaching philosophy is to find joy in academic pursuits, whether it is writing an essay, studying for a standardized test, or practicing French (all of which I can help you with). Unfortunately, contemporary education puts pressure on these things by subjecting them to constant evaluation, and its hard to enjoy school when everything we do in it is for a grade. When I teach, I...
