I am an elementary school teacher and reading specialist who loves helping my students find joy and empowerment through reading. Reading is the key to unlocking knowledge across subjects, including math and science, which I also have experience in and enjoy teaching.

I am able to evaluate my successes and failures. Just as I say to my students, "failure is not final". Using my data, I am able to model resilience to my students by adapting my approach to best meet the individual needs of the student.

I am ready to help you succeed! If you're trying to achieve your goals, I totally understand your desire to learn and the need to have someone there to help you out. I couldn't keep up with the class as a kid. After a few years, I had developed the ability to focus and organize myself so that I would be able to succeed in the classroom in college. Lifelong learning is a habit that can be developed and appreciated. It doesn't matter whether I had a billion dollars or not, I would still want to te...More

While my primary efforts are focused on addressing whatever it is that challenges you, I will always see you as so much more than that. I want to learn about who you are as a whole; a unique person with their o...More

I am very excited to be working with Varsity Tutors. I love being able to work with students in a one-on-one setting; for students to truly grasp difficult concepts, they must be able to discuss the material freely with their teacher, which is rarely possible in a classroom setting. For writing especially, one-on-one tutoring is essential to developing one's skills. As a Varsity Tutor, I hope to not only strengthen students' writing and academic performance, but also make them feel more confiden...More

I am currently in graduate school at Drexel and will be starting medical school there in the fall. I have tutored for over five years. I have worked with mostly middle and high school students, focusing on math and life sciences. I have had a lot of experience working with students with special needs, especially ADHD. The greatest reward of being a tutor is watching students succeed and find the confidence in themselves.
