As a recent graduate from Rice University with a double-major in English and Biology, I have extensive experience with a...

I am a very experienced high school and middle school teacher/tutor, as I have been tutoring or teaching in some capacity since August of 2010. I have always loved making personal connections with students and helping them make daunting studies (such as math or test preparation) more approachable. My favorite part of my job is empowering students to be more independent learners and helping them develop confidence in their abilities.

In my spare time, I play violin and viola, go running, and travel as much as I can.
