...pursuing a degree in English with a concentration in Literature and a minor in Psychology. During the academic year, I am employed as a certified writing tutor at Assumption College's Academic Support Center, and I continue my efforts in the summertime as an ESL assistant teacher for adult immigrants in Hartford, CT.

...with and teaching others. Through my professional career, teaching others has become a passion of mine. I spent several years as a Finance Manager, working with junior analysts each day. My approach in teaching others centers on patience and understanding. I utilized a different approach for each of my employees.

...a student and make sure that individuality is manifest on the page. I have a passion for argumentative writing, creative writing, and vocabulary across al age groups. Getting clients excited about a well-finished product, especially the "non-writers," gives me the most satisfaction.

...to where I stood in my career. The job required me to travel throughout the southeast to assist teachers in struggling schools to utilize the LDC model in their classroom to increase literacy proficiency.

...English B.A. program. While I haven't tutored before Varsity Tutors, I spent much of my time at school peer-editing, teaching music in a cappella rehearsals, and helping friends and classmates with their academic issues. I am a firm believer that an English tutor is not there to tell their student how to understand the text or make essay edits for them, but to provide them with the tools and background information necessary for them to...

...fairly recent high school graduate, I can relate well to what my tutoring students are going through, and I am aware of their teachers’ expectations. I encourage all of my students to ask plenty of questions whenever they are confused, as that is the best way to learn. In my free time, I love playing the piano. I am primarily a jazz musician, and perform regularly. Another hobby of mine is politics, and at school...
