This perspective has fueled my passion for helping all students, especially those who are neurodivergent, unlock their full potential and achieve their academic goals. I believe that every student deserves a learning environment that embraces their individuality and supports their growth. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Theater Arts from Michigan Technological University, followed by a Master of Science in Information specializing in Digital Curation and Archives from the University of Michigan. These diverse educational experiences have equipped me with both subject-matter expertise and the ability to communicate concepts in creative, accessible ways tailored to different learning styles. With years of experience working with students in various capacities, from one-on-one coaching to facilitating workshops on skills like time management, I've developed a tutoring approach that is empathetic, patient, and flexible. I tutor subjects such as basic natural and earth science, American history, and creative writing. History is one of my favorite subjects to teach because it encourages curiosity about our past and famous figures, while I enjoy tutoring writing because it empowers students to express their unique perspectives and ideas. My teaching philosophy focuses on meeting students where they are, celebrating their strengths, and using individualized strategies to help them succeed. I aim to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment that is especially welcoming for neurodiverse students, ensuring that they feel seen, understood, and capable. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy creative pursuits like musical theater, writing, animation, and drawing. These interests inspire me to incorporate creativity into my teaching, making learning both fun and memorable. I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your academic and personal goals in a way that suits your unique learning style!
