I aim to improve your student's scores AND their relationship with learning. I like to try a variety of teaching methods to find how your student learns best. I have gained my teaching expertise through eight years of teaching in every kind of classroom imaginable. I led an afterschool program and kids camp for five years we taught in the classroom, in parks, and online for K- 12 grade! I recently received my master's degree in American History from the esteemed University of Oklahoma. There I had the opportunity to teach history to college students. My specialties are history, government, reading, writing, creative writing, reading comprehension, performance arts, philosophy, study skills, and testing. I love teaching the humanities. I utilize many standardized materials for the student to practice with. I also like to become acquainted with the materials the student is using at school and bring these materials into our sessions. I believe the students build alot of confidence when they go into their classroom knowing that they have seen the material before. If you select me I will give you a call and we can discuss your goals for your child and I will rise to meet your expectations! I have always performed well in my classes in the humanities. I not only excelled in writing, performance, history, philosophy and such but I loved these subjects growing up and desire to give your student the same passion. I can't wait to meet you and your student!

I love the outdoors. I rock climb, hike, swim, and surf! I also love protecting the outdoors and produce a podcast with the online journal Environmental History Now. Last summer, I got to live in Yosemite National Park and work at their research library with my cat, Bear (as pictured). I continue to work in academia, writing research papers and reviewing books for academic journals.
