...classrooms, in ensembles, and individually. My favorite part about teaching and tutoring is helping students get excited about a new idea or creative process. In my tutoring sessions, I will focus on both big ideas (developing and structuring arguments, analyzing themes, building connections, etc.) and the nitty gritty details (conventions, grammar, sentence structure, style, voice, etc.) of reading and writing, whether it be for an essay prompt on an assigned novel or for SAT prep....

I have always been fascinated by history, and have passed the AP European History and AP US History Exams while I was...

...the LSAT, the SAT, the AP, the Regents, or even the CogAT. Additionally, as an alumnus of my school district's 3rd-8th grade "gifted" program, I learned the value of cultivating creativity. I'd like to pass on what I've learned in those formative years -- the early assignments and projects which have led to who I am today. In sum, it is my mission to find that individualized point-of-connection. The rewards to be reaped go far...

...Developing an individualized approach for every student's academic and intellectual needs is my priority as both a teacher and tutor.

This past...

...up with were simultaneously moving, insightful, wacky, and hilarious in a way that the best adult writers could only hope for. The best part of it all was that it was the writers themselves, not me, who insisted we get up on stage and act out their words for the small audience. There is nothing more gratifying me than being along for the ride while kids create and discover the person they're becoming.... 90% of the...

Just to experience someone's life take on a new prospective because they are better armed to face life is like making life better one person at a...

I’ve had the great opportunity to work with the BOOST program at Duke University to use science and technology to inspire economically challenged and underrepresented students in Durham’s public schools.
