2+ Years Tutoring

I'm a dedicated tutor with a Bachelor's degree and more than two years of tutoring and volunteer experience across English (reading and writing), Math, Physics, Business, Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and more. I've worked with learners of all ages, from elementary through college, helping them build confidence while mastering their subjects. Many of my students have struggled with procrastination and feeling overwhelmed. I've found that the key is breaking down big tasks into manageable steps, building strong study habits, and offering encouragement along the way. My goal is not just to help students complete assignments, but to equip them with the organization and motivation they need to thrive independently. My teaching style focuses on creating a supportive, engaging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and truly understanding the material. I especially enjoy guiding students to express their ideas clearly, whether through writing, problem-solving, or discussion. Parents can expect open communication and a collaborative approach to ensure steady progress. Outside of tutoring, I'm passionate about both technology and literature, and I bring that curiosity into my lessons to make learning interactive and meaningful.

Growing up with a teacher for a mother, I have always been challenged to learn. A voracious reader, writer, and student, I always loved learning. These interests were compounded by the desire to share the knowledge I acquired from each new topic of study. As early as grade school, I assisted in teaching my brother to read. Throughout our childhood, then high school and college, I have worked with friends, classmates, and colleagues as a tutor in a wide range of subjects. I strive to further my students' understanding of given material and engage them with new ways of working through problems.

2+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Old Dominion University with two Bachelors, one in Art History and the other in History. In June of 2022, I graduated Norwich University with my Masters in World History. Teaching is my passion and I fully believe that all students have the capability to succeed, and it is my goal as a tutor to foster self-confidence and success in every student. Therefore, my philosophy is to never give up on a student, to be fully dedicated to their needs and their education, and to always make sure they always strive for their best to develop self-confidence and success. When I tutor, I like to challenge my students because I see their capabilities. If needed, I will also assist students with study habits, time management skills, and organization as we progress through our sessions. I was a Spanish Tutor and an AVID tutor, and it was a rewarding experience to see students succeed and thrive. I hope to impart a small passion for history to every student I tutor. My passion for history is mostly in ancient and prehistory, and I hope someday that I will get the opportunity to travel to Europe to visit ancient sites and see cave paintings.
