Certified Tutor

I graduated from New York University this past December receiving a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in anthropology with a minor in chemistry. While my focus was in genetic anthropology, my liberal arts major has allowed me to explore a wide variety of subjects during my college experience. I began tutoring as a middle school student back in California and have continued to tutor every year since. So many years of practice has allowed me to become versed in tutoring individuals of all ages in a wide variety of subjects. For the last two years I have focused on working with students with learning disabilities such as ADHD. My teaching style focuses on reframing academic struggles as hurdles with simple and practical solutions rather than insurmountable hurdles. While I tutor in many subject areas, my passion and joy is in the sciences and mathematics. I have always seen education and learning as some of the most exciting and important opportunities in life, and I try to pass on this joy to all of my students. Outside of education I also love traveling, even within my own city, finding it's hidden streets and historic landmarks.
