Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Kirkland, WA

I've always loved learning math and science, a fact which I attribute almost entirely to a series of excellent teachers. I want to spread my love of learning by helping students learn through their own exploration and thought, and teach test-taking strategies to improve their mindset while taking standardized tests.

I am an English major from the University of Washington, with an emphasis on creative writing. I enlisted with the Teach for America corps after my undergraduate studies, and taught early elementary students in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. I have plans to attend law school, and specialize in writing and test prep. I ran cross country and track for the University of Washington, and love board games, poetry, cooking and my dog.

...several years of experience as a science teacher, I actually prefer to tutor math. I think math is the foundation for many sciences and a solid understanding of math can lead to a better understanding of subjects like physics and chemistry.

As someone...

During the summers i enjoy watching baseball...

...my students.
