...achieve growth through consistent practice and overcoming misconceptions and unhelpful habits. While preparing for standardized tests, I help students feel confident about the knowledge on which they will be examined.

I enjoy tutoring...

...college graduate who started her degree at only 16 years old, I too, encountered a lot of problems. But I came to learn, fortunately early, that the lack of an effective learning strategy is typically 80% of your problem. Getting to this strategy, however, is different for every individual-- it is not something you can simply google or watch a tutorial for. It takes time and effort. I put a high-emphasis in developing this strategy...

...architecture, but my passion for education remains. I believe that students need to learn how to ask the right questions so that they can navigate the increasingly sophisticated world around them. This belief informs my teaching style; I act as a guide for students rather than someone dispensing information. Nothing is more enjoyable than the look on a student's face when he or she has just realized that he or she can solve a problem...

Here is where I come in: whether you're at the brainstorming stage or have written four drafts...

...am very creative. I find that people of all ages struggle with some sort of learning curve. Finding what works for each person individually is how to teach. Everyone learns differently. Some people are great listeners and do great with dictation, while some need to be hands on, and some people also just are visual learners. Understanding the person you are helping, and learning a little bit about them helps and goes a long way.

...ways to learn and teach. After graduating from Northwestern four years ago, I spent time abroad before getting my Master’s degree at Boston College in Mental Health Counseling.

...speaking English at home. It turns out that ethics and judgement are skewed when attending school in a city ranked, “one of the whitest in America.” Those learning environments were privileged, and yet personally unapproachable and uninspiring due to the stereotypes surrounding my ethnicity.

I truly began to appreciate this after interacting with my own pediatrician, who had built her own clinic from the ground-up using her knowledge, the power of education, and the strength of connection.
