I strongly believe that a...

I am a high school graduate currently taking a gap year before entering college at Stanford University. I am extremely passionate about strengthening students' writing skills.

I graduated from St. John's College in Annapolis, MD with a degree in Liberal Arts. I studied mathematics, science, language and philosophy.

Subtly they sense the growing realization that they are part of a larger whole???of the human story, of life. I believe in a balance of progressive and traditional teaching. Tutoring one-on-one is the best of teaching. I like to present any given material in two ways, such as aurally and...

...on some of this material, and am on your side. My approach to tutoring is student centered. I believe each student is different and has different needs from me, and I am willing to adapt to those needs.

When I'm not tutoring, I spend my time writing and performing spoken word poetry, riding my bike around Boston, and learning to cook.

The most incredible place I have been is Tanzania – if I hadn’t packed three massive Teddy Roosevelt biographies...
