I am a constant learner with a passion for not only helping students achieve their highest potential academically, but also acquire some level of comfort, if not pleasure, from reading and writing.

A battle-tested veteran of the New York private school circuit, I graduated college in 2013 and now teach German in DC. I lived in German-speaking Europe for many years, and I majored its language, culture and history. I fully understand the many competing demands on a modern student's schedule. My tutees and I therefore tailor-make lesson plans based on their personal strengths and areas for improvement in order to fully capitalize on our time together.
