Based in Philadelphia but born and raised in southeastern Florida, a love of history has persisted within me since I was a child, and it has been my dream to have the opportunity to share my passion with others, and to get them engaged in the ongoing preservation of our collective past. I graduated from Appalachian State University in 2016 with a Bachelor's Degree in Public History, and I received a Master's Degree in Historic Preservation from the University of Florida in 2018. As a tutor, I specialize in American and European history, and also tutor writing and language arts. My philosophy is learning through creating, and I believe that creativity is the best outlet to learn and retain knowledge.

I enjoy teaching, helping students gain knowledge, skill, and thereby power. I think the strength and skills of the younger generation are the most important things we can pass on. It takes education to develop those characteristics. I have an admiration and respect for Science, in particular Biology and Environmental Science, and I can not imagine a better way to spend my time than to talk about these two favorites, along with Math, with young people. And lastly, I have had a very supportive and happy experience working with Varsity Tutors, and I wholeheartedly approve of the way they manage the relationship of parents and students with we tutors. I tell everyone this is the best "job" I every have had.

I grew up in Charlotte and have lived in numerous neighborhoods in the area. My family had a cottage at Lake Norman for many years and we enjoyed many summers on the water. Since then I have made purchases at Lake Norman and Charlotte and have extensive knowledge of what both areas have to offer. NC licensed Broker since 2001.Working as a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Residential is a great way to be able to provide specialized service to prospective clients in geographical areas that they might not otherwise have access to with other companies. Many clients come to the area without any knowledge of what areas might be a good fit for them. I enjoy finding out what their needs are, and developing a strategy to locating the home that best fits their motivations. As for sellers, I understand the selling process with 18 years of experience as a full time Broker. I understand how to see a property from a buyer's perspective and am able to "coach" sellers in a way to make their properties the most desirable to potential buyers.

I am a graduate of Appalachian State University. I received my B.S. in Applied physics and my M.S. in Engineering Physics with a focus in Laboratory Automation. I worked as a TA for intro physics and electronics labs and am currently teaching math courses for an after-school program for accelerated students. My passion for math and physics has led to me greatly enjoying teaching others and watching them discover the laws that govern the world we live in. My teaching style involves leading students with questions to find the answers themselves. Understanding the underlying concepts is the key to mastery, not just memorization of equations and formulas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tutors who attended or graduated from Appalachian State University bring firsthand familiarity with rigorous coursework, local academic standards, and the specific challenges students face in your area. They understand the curriculum depth at App State and similar institutions, which helps them pitch instruction at the right level and anticipate common stumbling blocks. This direct experience means they can share proven study strategies and offer insights into what professors expect, making instruction more relevant and effective.

Tutors with App State backgrounds excel across a wide range of subjects, particularly in core academics like mathematics, sciences, English, and business—areas where App State maintains strong programs. Many have advanced expertise in engineering, education, health sciences, and liberal arts disciplines. Because they've completed these coursework sequences themselves, they can break down complex topics clearly and guide students through the same material they once mastered, providing confident, informed instruction.

Yes. Tutors who graduated from Appalachian State University are excellent guides for high school students preparing for college. They've navigated the transition themselves and can help you build the academic habits, time management skills, and conceptual depth that college instructors expect. They can also speak authentically about what life at App State is like, answer questions about balancing coursework and campus life, and prepare you for the intellectual rigor of university-level instruction.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows a tutor to focus entirely on your learning style, pace, and goals in ways a classroom setting cannot. An App State alumni tutor can adjust explanations on the fly, spend extra time on weak areas, and accelerate through concepts you've already mastered. Research consistently shows that individualized attention significantly improves learning outcomes—tutors can diagnose exactly where confusion starts and address it immediately, rather than moving at a group pace that may leave gaps in your understanding.

Varsity Tutors matches you with tutors based on your subject, academic level, and learning needs—including the option to prioritize tutors with App State experience. Once matched, you'll work directly with your tutor to schedule sessions, set goals, and build a customized learning plan. The process is straightforward and designed to get you productive instruction as quickly as possible, so you can start making progress on the skills and subjects you need most.

Absolutely. When a tutor has walked the same academic path you're on—completing the same coursework, passing the same exams, and mastering the same concepts—it builds confidence. Seeing someone who succeeded reassures you that the material is learnable, and their specific guidance helps you develop the skills and understanding to succeed too. Over time, as concepts click and your grades improve, that confidence compounds, making it easier to tackle harder material and take on new academic challenges.

Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can work around your schedule, whatever that looks like—whether you need sessions early morning, evenings, weekends, or during semester breaks. This flexibility means you can get support exactly when you need it most, whether that's during midterms, before major projects, or to help you master foundational concepts early in the semester so later coursework feels more manageable.
