As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and Ethnicity & Race Studies from Columbia University, I have over 5 years of tutoring experience in subjects such as English Language and Writing, U.S. Government & Politics, and college application essays. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to express their ideas and engage critically with the material. I believe in tailoring my approach to each student's unique learning style, which not only enhances their understanding but also builds their confidence. In my free time, I enjoy reading, exploring new cultures through cooking, and discussing current events, which enriches my perspective and informs my teaching.

I enjoy reading Science Fiction and Space Operas, cooking Soul Food, and playing saxophone. Recently, I have also picked up oil pastels.
