About Me

It has always been my desire to work with youth to help them develop the skills necessary to function and thrive in our society. While I was always a strong academic performer, I lacked the guidance, support, and mentoring that my classmates enjoyed at home. My goal as a tutor is to provide those needs that can sometimes be lacking in a school setting. I enjoyed a successful post-high school career in the Construction Management and Architecture fields. Like so many others I found myself laid-off Following the 2008 economic collapse. By 2011 I had enrolled in college in pursuit of a B.A. in History and a B.A. in Secondary Education complemented by minors in Art History and Communication. I graduated cum laude in 2014, demonstrating that it is never too late to fulfill one's goals or dreams. Additionally, I was inducted into The National Education Honor Society, The National History Honor Society, and Gold Key International Honor Society (for the top 15 percentile of my class).I value education and I love history. History itself is a reading and writing intensive subject and, therefore, the subject through which middle- and high-school students learned critical reading and writing skills. As I stress to me students, it is also the subject that encourages student to develop their own opinions. I want to help youth to learn and utilize the skills of evidence-based academic argument and critical thinking. My goal is to develop the student skill set and, by extension, the student confidence to meet the requirements in this area. By working closely together, I believe the student can exceed expectations and apply what we learn to all facets of education.
