I am a recent graduate from the University of Virginia with degrees in Spanish and Global Development Studies and a passion for literature and the arts. I couldn't be more excited to help New York area students thrive as I navigate my first few months in this incredible, swirling city.... I primarily believe in my students' intelligence and capacity to solve problems. Sometimes they need a supportive voice -- someone who can answer their questions and nudge them in the right direction -- but making them a partner in learning is the first step to helping them discover their academic potential.

Having taught students in various subjects before, and as a college student myself, I believe that the best teaching approach is one that caters directly to the student's needs-whether it's through lecturing or more personalized attention. I also think that learning should be an enjoyable experience and not feel like a chore which is why I teach in an interactive and exciting manner.
