Award-Winning Test Prep Tutors serving St. Louis, MO

I am a storyteller by nature, and I believe teaching--regardless of the subject-- is storytelling at the core. Instead of tales of fantasy and fiction, however, these are stories about how the world works. Students like working with me because of my ability to communicate information in a way that they can understand (i.e. I tell the story they want to hear). I enjoy swimming, being outdoors, and pets.

I graduated from the University of Notre Dame in applied math. I have experience tutoring ACT and math. I'm very good at communicating concepts in an easy to understand manner. My philosophy is to first understand the student so we can define objectives, create a plan of action for both myself and the student, and evaluate progress along the way.

...with them as well. Beyond scholastic achievement, math and science allow one to understand the world we live in, and the more you learn, the more the inherent structure, beauty and interconnectedness of the natural world appear to become self-evident. As a tutor, I try to show my students why what they're learning matters, and how it can enrich their view of the world, even if they think they will never apply what they're learning...

I enjoy helping people understand material that they struggle with on their own. Each individual learns differently and there are multiple ways for people to solve a problem.

Now in college, I am inspired by my high school teachers (and my current professors) to be that same support, in whatever way works best for the student. In...
