...and willkommen! I am a former college instructor who specializes in philosophy, theology, and the history of the classical world. I love dogs, Roman Stoicism, karaoke, and Jane Austen novels (because that Mr. Darcy is such a dream!). My degrees in both English-Writing and Philosophy have helped my students craft essays that are logical, coherent, precise, and eloquent. Never fear, for after a decade of teaching and tutoring, I still have more awesomeness to give!

...because after assessments, I measure the results to see their success. This is very rewarding for the student as well as for me. I've always had a passion and a desire for teaching/tutoring. My experiences involved working with a multi-ethnic-multi-age population. Many years of teaching taught me to communicate well with students, parents, faculty and administrators. Teaching and tutoring has enriched my life. I really appreciate and enjoy working in this capacity. I'm a person...

...possible for each student's needs. I love that magical moment when the student "gets it." With experience in a broad range of subjects, mathematics is the most enjoyable for me, as well as LSAT Logic Games I'm the weirdo doing LSAT games at the tea house. My spare time finds me in nature for hikes and trail runs, and I can regularly be found on an obstacle course (Spartan, Tough Mudder, SISU, etc.) or doing...

...got my Master's degree in Elementary Education from Vanderbilt University. Although I always thought teaching sounded exciting, it was not until I began volunteering in a third grade classroom that I was sure I wanted to pursue education as a career. Since making this decision I have had experience with students of all ages. I taught weekly lessons to 2nd and 4th graders during the first year of my program at Vanderbilt and then student...

...whatever those may be. Yet, my aim as a tutor is not simply to meet the overt goals of each student during our sessions. In addition to imparting information, developing specific subject skills, and promoting conceptual understanding of the study topic, I strive to teach my students vital critical thinking and problem solving skills to increase their innate abilities as self-educators. My goal for each of my students is to have them gain the competence...

...and my BS in Mathematics at New York University. Throughout college and graduate school, I have tutored students from a multitude of backgrounds and helped them along their journey to academic success.
