About Me

I am currently a Master’s candidate at Seton Hall University pursuing my M.A. in Diplomacy and International Relations. I graduated in 2013 cum laude at Virginia Commonwealth University with a B.A. in Political Science, and I minored in both Economics and Religious Studies. My academic strengths include:Writing - I am proficient many forms of academic writingHistory - I am expected to understand the political climate, government structure, and contemporary history of as many countries as I can handleStandardized test prep - I myself have taken many standardized examsOther social sciences - I took every AP social science course offeredI first started tutoring when I myself was in high school; helping the local middle school students with the homework they were most struggling with. I have two siblings who are now in high school turning to me for tips to succeed. I have also recently helped a number of my frightened peers practice and plan for their GREs. I understand the patience and the process involved in helping someone find their confidence and their mechanisms for success when approaching any subject material. My hobbies include reading. I read in parks, in cafés, on my couch, on vacation. To me, reading is the biggest luxury, and my favorite activity. When I am on break from school, I read nearly every day. Occasionally I also enjoy walking around the mountains and going to events in the city.

Q&A with Sarah

Motivation is often a difficult thing for students. If you just spent eight hours at school, why do you then need to spend several hours on homework? It can often seem daunting and never-ending. The key is to do more than just teach for the test or finish the assignment. Study tricks take practice. Every assignment or exam is an opportunity to make future assignments and exams easier, more fluid, and less frightening.
