About Me

I am a rising senior at Washington University in St. Louis pursuing a Bachelor's in English Literature. I also have a minor in Educational Studies, as I plan to become a high school English teacher. I plan to go to graduate school to get my Master's in teaching English literature and Special Education 7-12. I have a lot of interests, but my favorite things to do are ply golf, run, sing, listen to music, and read. I started a girls' golf team at my high school, and I ran cross country! I also love to bake. Most recently I tried out a recipe for cinnamon rolls and it was AMAZING! My favorite book - it's really hard to pick - is the Great Gatsby, and my favorite movie is Shawshank Redemption. I have a lot of experience tutoring Pre-K, elementary and middle school children in phonics, reading, writing, science, and math. In high school, I spent almost everyday tutoring children in these subjects at a nearby elementary school. Recently, I helped teach a young boy with speech delays how to read and write. I'm really passionate about teaching students not only how to read and write well, but also to enjoy doing it! I also love coaching children in math and science to help them learn the material and feel confident about it! I am very comfortable assigning homework for different subjects and different grade levels. If I had to choose, I'd say that my favorite subject to tutor is reading. I believe reading is an essential, life-long skill, and I love supporting students as they become stronger, more passionate readers. Additionally, since I am an English major, I am very familiar with a wide variety of literature - I have taken classes about American, British, and Postcolonial literature, to name a few! I am more than able to tutor students of all ages (elementary to college (and beyond!)).I am extremely comfortable helping students struggling with the reading and writing sections of the SAT and the SAT Literature Subject Test. I am very skilled at writing essays, and I am passionate about grammar. I can help with general essay writing, or more specifically with college essay writing! I look forward to working with you!
