...be pursing a graduate degree in Political Science. I have a large amount of experience tutoring students in late elementary through high school in one-on-one settings.

...from medieval Scholasticism to contemporary issues in bioethics and law. I believe that tutoring is not only about the transfer of knowledge between the tutor and the student, but also a transfer of skills, which would help the student learn how to find the answer himself or herself and to solve whatever academic problems come his or her way. Equally, important is demonstrating the real-world application of what a student is doing.

...write, and love helping students write as creatively as possible within the parameters of their schoolwork. I’m committed to making learning as fun and enjoyable. Having been an occasionally reluctant learner, I believe that most people are happiest when they feel that they’re learning independently, and are empowered enough to make their education their own. I want to help students create this sense of worth and importance within their studies and schoolwork, which I believe...

Please contact me with any questions you may have, and I look forward to working with you and/or your child!... I find that...

...I worked in a high school as an interventionist working with small groups of students. Although, they were considered to be at the same level that did not necessarily mean that my lesson plan would work for everyone in that group. I also tutored these same students and others after school and that was often where I got to know them as students the best. I just think it is really important to recognize that...

...little extra help. I had often answered my peers' questions in class as we worked and thought nothing of it, but apparently all my teachers had noticed. These teachers all saw something that I could not yet see for myself. Five years later and I am about to graduate from Texas State University as a Special Education teacher. I have had several years of experience working with high school students in areas of algebra, geometry,...

Behind every painstaking academic endeavor is the opportunity for tremendous success. That's why it's important to me that every student grasps the bigger picture. Education has the opportunity to enrich your life unlike any other endeavor. If you're anything like me, you've experienced academic failure. But as a soon-to-be practicing attorney, I can assure you that failure is not fatal. If we keep putting one foot in front of the other, we will reach our...

These experiences had led to me believe that teaching styles are detrimental to a student's success in and...

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, yoga, walking trails, and the fun, free events in Austin.
