About Me

I'm passionate about helping students because I love watching people grow into their potential and become more confident in their abilities. There's something uniquely rewarding about seeing someone connect the dots for themselves and knowing you helped make that moment possible. While I haven't worked with students in a traditional academic setting, I've taught numerous tennis lessons over the years, which taught me how to adjust my approach for different personalities and skill levels breaking down complex movements, offering encouragement, and celebrating progress. I also spent a good deal of time as a student working with tutors myself, which gave me a strong appreciation for how effective one-on-one learning can be. I bring that same energy and flexibility to academic tutoring, where building trust and tailoring each session to the individual is just as important. I graduated from Allegheny College with a major in Political Science and a minor in Spanish, and I currently tutor U.S. and world politics, U.S. and world history, and introductory Spanish. My favorite subject to tutor is U.S. Government and Politics I'm always excited to help students understand how political systems work, why they matter, and how they impact daily life. I believe that understanding government helps students become more informed, empowered citizens. My teaching philosophy is centered around curiosity, connection, and confidence. I aim to make each session engaging and student-led, using real-world examples, conversation, and the occasional creative analogy to keep things relatable. I focus on meeting students where they are, adapting my approach to their pace, and encouraging them to ask questions freely. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing golf, reading across a variety of genres, and cycling around New York City especially when I get to explore new neighborhoods or scenic routes. I bring that same sense of exploration and patience to my tutoring sessions, always aiming to make learning feel both structured and full of discovery.
