...and English. In college I was an active research assistance, and assisted in student teaching. Even after college, during a volunteer trip abroad, I got the chance to help young children learn their ABCs in Spanish while concurrently teaching ESL classes to adult students.

...at UMBC studying Mechanical Engineering. I believe that in order to make tutoring successful, you need to break down problems into attainable chunks that are understandable, and that a student can therefore master.

I myself was once tutored, and I know first-hand the positive influence...

...enough to ask me as many questions as they like. My teaching philosophy is that tutoring is a two way street.

In addition to tutoring and horseback riding, I am also enjoy yoga, reading,...
