About Me

In the few years since I received my Bachelor's in Art History from the College of Wooster in Ohio I've had many different jobs. My ability to identify artistic movement based on formal qualities of art doesn't usually come into my day-to-day, yet the critical thinking skills and versatility of understanding I developed from a liberal arts education helps me excel in every responsibility I take on. I was lucky to attend excellent schools my whole life, and that the school system fit exactly with my learning style. During my time with Wooster's education department I was placed in a high school, pre school and a kindergarten, where I got to see a great diversity of teaching tactics and developmental levels. However, the limitations of the school system left me unwilling to work in the one-size-fits-all structure. Everyone learns in a different way and it's unreasonable to expect a school to cater to each learning style and personality, which is why I find tutoring to be an important part of an education. I want to help other students get as great an education as I did. Drawing and Art History are my favorite subjects; I could talk about the Parisian move from the French Academy to the Impressionists for hours. While not as much fun, I think SAT prep is very important. As a naturally good test-taker, I always thought it was unfair that others had to study for months to pass a test I found so simple. Tutoring the best ways to take the test is my way of paying it back. I want to help students get on equal footing and move on in their education toward a well-rounded ability to think critically, which has made my entire adult life more successful. Outside of the educational sphere I have a slight obsession with Jane Austen, John Steinbeck, and trail running. I love to draw and collage mail items to send to friends around the country, occasionally stopping to try to teach myself the mandolin.
