...Syracuse University. I obtained a duel degree in both English Textual Studies and Magazine Journalism. As that indicates, I love writing and literature and they are a couple of my favorite subjects to teach. I also love books and reading in general, as well as creative writing and poetry which are a couple passions of mine. I also could be caught coaching high school volleyball, out for an afternoon horseback ride, or singing loudly into...

I love working with every type of student to help them reach their goals. As an English Ph.D. student, literature remains at the center of my educational journey. Reading and the skills that come with it--comprehension, analysis, critical thinking, empathy--are of utmost importance. I work hard to balance between challenging and encouraging my students. My excitable disposition and energy help to motivate learning and reinforce confidence in their own minds.

I'm new to Varsity Tutors, but I have experience tutoring privately, and I've found that everyone can improve their scores by taking advantage of the ways standardized tests are designed. In my free time, I like to hike, study investing, and listen to music like Kanye West and Post Malone.

Languages, writing and the arts require you to engage fully with their subjects - to produce something unique, something that only you can offer. This, to me, is true learning. It translates into clearer thinking, better grades and greater satisfaction in life.

...important for college, but that the numbers should not define them. Though I always see great progress on the college prep (ACT and SAT), I really enjoy working with students on their college essays. I find that students really share their passion when they write these-but it takes some coaxing to have their unique personalities shine. To prepare each student for the college prep tests, I work with each student to understand his/her learning styles...

...other people and to make oneself useful. But beyond that, its very interesting to bring together the many layers at play: the concept being taught, the students current understanding of the subject, their other experiences and ideas which can be connected to the new information to give it meaning through context. Building new understanding is a creative, collaborative process between the student and the teacher. Im honored to be a part of that. Of course,...
