My day job in refugee resettlement utilizes my communication skills and my ability to solve real-life logic problems, like...

I am a student at the University of Kansas majoring in Political Science and minoring in French. I am qualified to tutor for many AP Courses (U.S. Government, U.S. History, and French Language) in addition to ACT and further language and English tutoring. I am not far removed from these courses and tests and am therefore able to help students uniquely as I remember being in there situations.

...courses at the collegiate level, tutored privately in numerous settings, and have an advanced degree in a critical thinking field. I love teaching and building relationships with my students.

...a Neurology Resident at Kansas University Medical Center. I am ready to tutor a number of subjects, but I would like to help students with MCAT or GRE test preparation.

...and throughout their lives. In addition, using my knowledge of science, math, the arts, and the humanities, I make connections between different subjects to help my students see how what we're working on isn't so strange after all! Before beginning to work with Varsity Tutors in August of 2014, I worked in a K-8 school as an intervention math teacher. There, I tutored elementary- and middle-school students in math in small groups. Working in that...

...junior year of college, I studied abroad at Oxford University where I focused on Medieval British history. While in College, I taught a group of 9th grade students at a local synagogue. My class focused on the role of women in some of the most pivotal stories in the bible.

...My main area of focus is within the English discipline; which is what my Masters of Arts illustrates. This includes subjects such as composition, literature (of any period/genre), grammar/mechanics, history of the English language, public speaking, etc. However, I also have experience in test prep for those that seek higher educational opportunities.

...English/essay writing and reading comprehension. As an avid reader myself, I love helping others be able to connect and understand the words on a page, and in congruence with that, I always love writing as well. I was probably one of the only people in my class who preferred essay answers instead of ones that had answers in front of you but were multiple choice or true/false. With this mindset, and my past experience virtually...

...value I hold dearest. Rather than tutor for the sake of hours, I hope to spend my time and the time of my clients effectively. I aim to not only improve test scores, but to set students up so they may efficiently study without a tutor. I hope to not only have an impact on students during the few hours I see them, but to improve their study habits for a lifetime's impact.

I began tutoring two years ago at Rockhurst University, and I grew to love working with students one-on-one to help them succeed academically. One of my main goals in life is to make education and literacy something attainable and worthwhile (and fun!) for all people.
