I am an experienced tutor specializing in high school and college-age materials, including standardized tests such as the ACT and SAT. I believe that the ultimate goal of teaching is to enable to student to function independently of the tutor.

I studied International Economics at Georgetown as an undergraduate and am currently completing my graduate studies in International Security there now as well.
