In my free time I like to spin, knit, sew and translate Latin and Old English. I also enjoy comparing the folklore...

...I've worked with students from eighth grade to college students. My students have had a range of abilities, from those struggling to pass to those attending top-level schools. Most students come to me for English and French assistance, but I've also worked with standardized test preparation, math, and time management.

...never any doubt that I would choose to tutor it. It is a pivotal subject on which so many others depend (such as physics and chemistry). I relish the challenge of problem solving that mathematics provides. For me, it is an endlessly intriguing subject, as the discipline appears limitless, allowing so much scope for further study and research. I believe I am a well-rounded mathematician.

I consider myself to be an incredibly fun and enthusiastic teacher, but it is also very important for me to show my students the importance of discipline.

...minor in Economics and Business. In the past, I have tutored various math subjects and math SAT test prep. These subjects continue to be my favorites as I enjoy teaching students to solve math puzzles. When tutoring I first work to understand the fundamental problems a student has with the material, and from there work on building up toward more complicated work. I enjoy reading world history and classic literature, as well as staying active...

...When I was a high school senior, I was accepted into 8 Ivy League universities, as well as Stanford and MIT. I truly appreciate and enjoy helping students of all ages achieve their college admissions goals! Outside of teaching and tutoring, I love to run and explore the city of Houston.
