I am currently working towards a doctorate in medicine from New Jersey Medical School. Throughout high school, college, and graduate school, I have tutored students ranging in age from elementary school to college freshmen in a variety of subjects particularly math and science. My favorite subject to tutor is math because it is very methodical and visual. Having a passion to help others, I am drawn to tutoring for the opportunity to share my knowledge with others. My family and friends have described me as being patient, compassionate, and personableall of the qualities that I believe I bring to my students. Outside of tutoring, I like Notre Dame football, dogs (especially my family's German Shepherd!), yoga, cooking, and reading.

I am currently a senior at Northwestern University and I will be receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Legal Studies this spring. In the fall, I will begin attending law school at Northwestern Law. For many years, I tutored a wide range of students in Spanish, English literature, and writing. I have also continued to help many high school seniors with college application essays. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am very passionate about helping students improve their reading and writing skills, and I really enjoy helping students with Critical Reading and Writing portions of Standardized Tests. I love working with students and helping them realize their full academic potential. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, exploring Chicago, reading, and cooking.
