Certified Tutor
Hi, I am an Ivy League school graduate living in the Annapolis area. I graduated cum laude from Dartmouth in 2013. I spent two years working at Morgan Stanley in NYC before leaving to found my own tech startup. I majored in European History and have a strong penchant for writing. I have also taken French almost my entire life. I would love the opportunity to work with students and help them reach their full potential.

What is your teaching philosophy?
Patience and positive reinforcement are the best way to get a student to reach his or her full potential.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Get to know them, and ascertain where their strengths and weaknesses are in the classroom. Then we would come up with a plan that focuses on tweaking and perfecting their strengths while creating measurable milestones and goals to improve upon their weaknesses.
