I am a certified and experienced former middle-school teacher, with a particular passion for teaching reading and writing. I've also enjoyed teaching ESL and sharing my enthusiasm for learning Spanish. These experiences have included working with children from kindergarten through 12th grade.I am an alumna of the Harvard Graduate School of Education and the University of Pennsylvania, and a fluent Spanish speaker.In addition to working in 20+ American schools and programs, I have lived and worked in Chile and Peru, where I taught English and trained other teachers.I am a lifelong bookworm, proud owner of a "Grammar Police" T-shirt, and geek for fantasy and magical realism. I have a track record of helping students to discover or develop a love of Reading, Writing and Language. My most rewarding experiences have involved guiding struggling or unengaged students in finding their own talents as writers and learners. I believe a successful tutoring approach includes creativity, responsiveness, attention to detail, and a clear passion for the subject.

I am a veteran teacher with a proven track-record of accomplishments. Possessing numerous certifications, I am able to relate to various levels and ages of learners. I am an advocate of challenging students to constantly improve; I prefer a 'coaching' style to instruction and take great pride in student success.

My Journey is to change the world one student at a time by empowering them to find the light within. I am passionate about justice, equity, diversity and kindness in all its forms. Students are who I serve, the reason I am here. Everything I do centers around inclusivity, belonging and empowerment for all no matter who they are or where they come from or where they are on life's journey. My call as a critical justice diversity educator and researcher is to make sure that what happens in the schools, in the workplace, in the policy manuals, and the courtrooms reflects a student-centered methodological stance that engenders inclusivity and reaches all learners where they are. Creativity and innovation drive me, kindness guides me, love empowers me. Take me to your greatest need, and I will find a way to help you make it happen.

I am currently working towards a Bachelor's of Arts in History, focusing on historiography, specifically Sovietology. I tutor all the humanitarian topics, including the SAT verbal and writing, English, essay composition and editing, world and U.S. history, and the whole spectrum of the REGENTS test.I like to break things down to their fundamentals and learn from the bottom up, so that it's easier to see how all the pieces of a topic fit together. A ten page paper might seem intimidating, until you break it down into a list of bullet points and ideas. Patience is a virtue and I exercise it dutifully. I'm comfortable tutoring all ages; a bit of empathy can span even decades, I believe.In my free time, I love surrounding myself with books and scraps of paper with inky pens, but when I do escape from between the pages I swim and play volleyball. I'm also fluent in Russian.

I am a senior linguistics major at Haverford College. I have extensive experience collaborating with peers during my time as an undergrad and am able to assist students of all ages. I am particularly interested in helping students with psychology and verbal and/or writing test prep! I have also worked in a kindergarten for the past four years in literacy and mathematics centers, and am very confident in my abilities to work with children.

As a tutor, my goal is to enable kids to become stellar students by demystifying the writing process. From mastering basic study skills to writing a killer college application essay, I want students to feel confident with their ability to communicate ideas effectively. My experience as a tutor, mentor and editor has provided me with the opportunity to help a variety of students, from kindergarteners just learning to read, to high school seniors writing the essays that will gain them access to top-tier universities. In my years as a teacher's assistant for college freshmen, a workshop teacher at 826 Chicago and a literacy tutor with at-risk kids in a low-income elementary school in Ohio, I have turned students who professed to hate Reading and Writing into confident and creative writers. I have also helped students excel in History, Mathematics and particularly enjoy helping students exceed their own scoring expectations on the SAT.As a graduate of the Oberlin College Creative Writing Program, I believe that every writing assignment, from historical essays to Japanese poetry to science term papers, has the possibility to enthrall and fascinate. I believe that all writing is creative writing, and that in every assignment can be approached with equal measures of enthusiasm and diligence. I am an excellent teacher of the building blocks of language, including Phonics and Grammar. As Joan Didion once said, "Grammar is a piano I play by ear." I have helped dozens of students view grammar not as a stifling set of rules but instead, a toolbox for self-expression.I look forward to working with you soon!

I am passionate about helping students because at one point I found it difficult to get the academic help I needed. I currently attend Husson University where I am a senior pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Allied Health Sciences. My favorite subjects to tutor are the sciences and psychology as those are my passion.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude and with honors from Connecticut College in May of 2016 with degrees in American Studies and Dance. Through both of these disciplines I furthered my love of learning, and realized that I was passionate about communicating that love to others. Throughout college I volunteered my time as a tutor at a local middle school and acted as an assistant teacher in my dance department.In the year since graduating, I've only become more sure about my desire to pursue a career in education. My first love is reading and writing, so I set out to become an English tutor. I worked for MeriEducation, a Los Angeles based tutoring and test prep center, as a full-time English Tutor. I received excellent training and invaluable experience during my time there. I'm passionate about providing the best and most individualized tutoring possible to students of all ages through Varsity Tutors.

My goal is to help student achieve their goal of understanding a subject to its fullest. I want to make sure that students not only understand their subject of need, but also gain comfort with it to the point of being able to move through problems quickly and with ease. I want to help them gain confidence in the subjects where they lack it the most.I recently graduated from High School and am currently on track to get my Mechanical Engineering degree from UConn. As my major implies, I love mathematics and science, as those have always been my strong points, and thus, I love to teach other people in these subjects. I am also particularly skilled when it comes to the SAT, and I like sharing the tips and tricks I have learned through my examinations of the SAT.Outside of tutoring, I love watching my Red Sox, Celtics, and Patriots. I am a Bostonian, through and through. Also, I'm an avid gamer. I am putting together a collection of games that I've always wanted, and I'm nearly halfway done, with games ranging from the N64 all the way to the PS4. My favorite games currently are Breath of the Wild, Metroid Prime, and The Wind Waker.

I am a graduate of the University of North Texas, where I received my Bachelor of Business Administration with a focus in Finance and Financial Services. Upon graduation, I began working in the mortgage industry as a Loan Officer and later as a Mortgage Broker. After a successful career in the Finance Industry, I decided to pursue my other passion in Computer Science, and began working for Fortune 500 companies such as Dell and IBM as a Network Software Engineer. I should mention that I have my certifications in A+, Network+, CompTIA IT Operations Specialist CIOS Stackable, MCP, IBM AIX, and AWS Cloud Practitioner and AWS Solutions Architect Associate . A few years later, I caught the travel bug and decided that I wanted to travel and teach English, so I obtained my TESL Certification from Oxford Seminars at the University of St. Edwards in Austin, Texas and moved to Taiwan where I began my ESL teaching career, where I taught ages 7 to 22 years old. During my time in Taiwan, I was awarded a scholarship for a 1-year Intensive Mandarin course. In addition to Taiwan, I have lived and worked in Guatemala, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Peru, and I am fluent in Spanish. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my primary focus is on professional certifications such as A+, Network+, AWS; however, I also help prepare for students with TOEFL and SAT entrance exams, as well as helping foreign business professionals improve their Business and Legal English. I am also a Business and Marketing Strategist and Consultant with over 15 years of experience. I am passionate about helping students achieve the success they desire and helping them overcome the barriers that prevent them from having that success. In my experience, success is determined not by what talents or skills you may have, but how much time and effort you are willing to put into mastering those desired skills. As stated by the "10,000 Hour Rule" by Malcolm Gladwell, only after you have dedicated yourself to 10,000 hours of work towards a specific skill can you become a master at it. In my experience, I find this to be true with myself and with my students. Outside of teaching, I practice meditation, yoga, and exercise daily as a self-discipline. I also enjoy cooking, traveling, reading, writing, learning new languages, nature hikes, waterfalls, Permaculture, Finance/Investing/Cryptocurrency, and taking care of my two beautiful dogs. I am focused constant personal development and I am dedicated towards constant self-improvement. If you are ready to take the steps towards improving your own personal development to achieve the success you desire, schedule a class today and I will help you on your path to success.
