...The first semester of my senior year in high school was spent living with a host family in Clermont-Ferrand, France, and I also spent a semester studying at La Sorbonne in college. I thus have a strong linguistic and cultural connection with France and Germany due to my time living and studying there.

This organization provided free tutoring and college counseling to under-served,...

...and work on methods for students to be able to make progress both in and out of tutoring sessions. My favorite part of tutoring is seeing students improve and build confidence in areas they used to be nervous about or dislike.

Although I spend my days teaching in a classroom, I love moonlighting at a tutor because of the individualized attention that my students receive. I bring several years of classroom experience to the table, as well as a teaching credential from the University of Oxford and a BA from Northwestern University.
