...from 2010-2013 before switching to Varsity Tutors which only strengthened my skills as a tutor.

...recently finished graduate school at Pepperdine University, and I grew up in Malibu. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I definitely prefer the social sciences: history, political science, and economics.

I like bodysurfing, card games, and reading.

...my time as a student, teacher, and mentor has taught me anything over the years, it is that simply checking the boxes and getting the right answer is not success. What I value far more is not just telling students the answers to their problems, but providing them with the resources and strategies to arrive at the correct answer themselves. Not only does this empower students, but it also gives them a framework to understand...
