I am currently in law school and completing a masters degree in international relations. I hold an undergraduate degree in finance, and have previously worked designing new financial products. I believe in teaching with real world concepts that students can relate to, so the material can be learned for more than just passing a test.... Cater to the learning style of the individual....

...classes to ready myself for grad school for Psychology. During undergrad, I tutored Latin for the Classics Honors Society and volunteered as an ESL teacher.

I started tutoring professionally in 2002 while I was in college. In 2004, I tutored English, French, Latin, and constitutional government for Baylor University's Student-Athlete Services and stayed there the first two years of law school. I love working with foreign languages. I speak English natively, French fluently, and Spanish and Arabic proficiently. I also can read and write Arabic.

...adults, sometimes together. Having somewhat recently been through the wringer of the college applications process, I know how grueling it can be, and can offer a compassionate, fun, and stress-free teaching style. I believe in building confidence by first identifying a student's strengths and knowledge. Students often know more than they think they do! Once I know where my students are coming from, I can build upon their existing knowledge and experience and help develop...

...housemaster, and an athletic coach. After briefly leaving teaching to help my parents through a series of health crises, I took a position with the Central Regional Middle School as a substitute teacher, where I have discovered a strong interest in working with younger students.

In my spare time I play tennis, read books, or go to the...

...university tutoring office, and was confirmed in graduate school, when I found I had a greater passion for teaching than for research.

I excel in teaching languages, particularly Latin and...

...school, I tutored my fellow students in French, and I was the president of JCL (Junior Classical League) also known as Latin Club. As president, I created effective and informative games which covered materials from Latin 1 through AP Latin 4.

I really enjoy the work that I do helping people to develop awareness around their own abilities as writers and work towards their individual goals. In addition to my most obvious role as a student and an ever-curious lover of books, I am also a yogi, environmentalist, and essential oils enthusiast. I love anything to do with self-care, mindful movement, and tapping...

...dedication to student empowerment and rigorous academic background, including graduating Summa Cum Laude from Columbia University and earning a fellowship to pursue my M.A. in Latin from the University of Michigan, I am ready to make a powerful impact on students outside of the classroom.
