Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of the University of Minnesota with a B.A in Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature. I also studied at the National Theater Institute. I love working with students to find creative and varied approaches to problems and help them understand subjects in new ways. I have tutored throughout my school career for many different ages in subjects including writing, English, and organizational/study skills. I especially like tutoring writing and the creative arts. In my spare time, I love to read, play volleyball, and am currently learning the banjo!
