I have worked extensively with kids at a summer camp for the past three years (mostly with little kids), babysitting, and helping the kids I lived with in Spain learn English and math. I am very passionate about writing, particularly creative and essay writing, and I also love to read, which makes it fun for me to teach English and to provide my help with close readings of texts. As a psych major, I love learning about and talking about psychology and the different branches of it. I am also a cellist, which I have been doing since I was 2.5 years old and can read music in three clefs (treble, tenor, and bass). I am a firm believer that learning should be fun and not boring or unenjoyable, while still including valuable education and information that will be retained instead of simply regurgitated on a test and then promptly forgotten. In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing video games, and enjoying the company of my family, best friend, and cat(s).

["I absolutely love reading","with my favorite books right now being Fairy Tale by Stephen King","The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern","The Midnight Library and How to Stop Time both by Matt Haig","and the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. Although I don't work on it as much as I would like to","I have a current work in progress of writing a fiction novel. I love to play the cello","and I have been known to sing from time to time. I also love to create art","which has recently taken the form of crochet projects but has included painting and scrapbooking in the past."]
