Emerson said that the secret of education is respecting the student. I have the greatest respect for that part of the human spirit that is curious and wants to learn. I find that if students feel they are listened to and heard, this allows them to feel encouraged. When they begin to understand that learning can be fun, the whole process becomes exciting and joyful. We are all curious and like to learn.

I am a graduate of Skidmore College. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree, magna cum laude, in English with a minor in Art History. I also received departmental honors for my capstone paper. In January, I will begin my Master of Arts in Public Relations at Johns Hopkins University. I mostly tutor in the humanities and social sciences, and I am very passionate about the value of these subjects. I am also a qualified ESL teacher, and I would like to work with students who are looking to improve their English language skills! In my free time, I love to travel, read, attend theater performances, go on hikes, and play with my two dogs.

I'm comfortable tutoring on a number of subjects, I particularly enjoy teaching English, writing, and critical reading. I like working one on one with students, helping them to think through problems, formulate opinions, and articulate their thoughts. This involves working on vocabulary, grammar, and writing mechanics. These are invaluable skills, essential for writing essays and preparing for Standardized Tests, like the SAT.
