As a tutor, I steer my lesson plans to cater to the student's needs as people have different learning styles. I look forward to speaking with you about how I can benefit your academic needs.

...not only to excel academically but also to be respectful, patient and positive. I believe that it is wrong to call the disparities in skill an achievement gap; rather, I believe it is an opportunity gap. It isn't that students aren't capable of success, it's that the opportunity for success is not always readily available...

...math teacher working in Chicago Public Schools. I love to see students go from describing themselves as "not a math person" to feeling like they meet exciting challenges in math and other parts of their lives.

...science you need to understand what problem you are trying to solve and why you are trying to solve it, and once you can grasp the big picture, you can then focus on solving problems by focusing on the more technical aspects of it. In college we had science outreach days where we presented and...

...I have been a tutor since I was in high school. I began with math (everything from pre-algebra through calculus), but found I love tutoring other subjects as well. I have tutored for over 15 years in subjects ranging from ESL to discrete mathematics, and in age ranges from elementary school through retirees.

...and journalism from the University of Mary Washington in 2015.

...Nothing was easy for me so I had to find more effective ways to study and understand the subject matter. I will be able to understand a student's problem figuring out their material and give them the tools to understand with their own reasoning. Hard work shows a lot about a student than what is...

...interventions. Outside of my training, I also have several years' experience volunteering as a tutor, focusing mainly on building students' reading and writing skills.

...to find themselves, their individual voice, and their own belief system. It is my responsibility to guide them on their journey in discovering new ideas and concepts.

...University of Chicago. Now, I'd like to share my passion for education with young students and budding scholars. While I studied philosophy and Russian, my interests are broad and varied.

I love helping people find their best self. And sometimes that's in the area of math sometimes that's in the area of their best college entrance exam sometimes that's in the area of a best self personally or professionally. No matter the area I'd like to be your advocate!

...Since early childhood, I've been immersed in multicultural and ELL education. I've devoted my personal and professional time to diversity and storytelling, starting at public TV station WETA in my hometown outside Washington, D.C., where I was certified as a trainer with Sesame Street's Preschool Education Project. I've also taught creativity and teambuilding through improvisation...

...students excel in their subjects, but I also enjoy working with kids, teenagers, and college students.
