About Me

I am a writer and aspiring educator currently applying to graduate programs to become a high school English teacher. I studied English and Theatre Arts at Loyola Marymount University and graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2014. I am an alumni member of Sigma Tau Delta, the national English Honors Society, and I was a student ambassador for the English department at my college. During school, I was able to study abroad in Madrid, Spain, where I was able to practice my Spanish while learning about another culture (I miss the paella very much). I previously worked with the San Diego Zoo’s Education department and am currently a private tutor/nanny in New York City. Personally, I love reading almost any kind of literary fiction (though I have quite an affinity for WWII fiction). I also love to write and try to take as many different kinds of writing classes as my schedule and wallet can afford me. Aside from literary interests, I love trying any kind of new food, attempting to bake pies, and knitting anything cozy or fluffy. I believe that through communication, we can work together to target your specific needs in English Literature/Reading/Writing, Spanish (levels I and II), and Elementary math. Learning is a very individual and personal pursuit, and I will make sure that our meetings will be geared towards you!

Q&A with Mackenzie

I believe strongly in open communication, empathy, and understanding between teacher and student. I will always try to understand each student's individual abilities and needs, and attempt to shape our sessions based on that information. However, I cannot do that fully unless a student is willing to tell me exactly how I can help him or her in the best way possible. Through this process, we will be able to accomplish the student's goals for success!
