I love to see the light bulb click on. When the student finally grasps, understands, and comprehends the math after so much struggle makes it rewarding for both.

Teaching and tutoring has always been a passion of mine. My first job was a tutoring position and it only helped my drive to help others understand concepts and apply them to any problems. As a senior in high school, I created my own sessions to help students successfully take the reading comprehension part of the SAT. Ever since I have been actively involved in helping students ranging from elementary school to college in subject areas such as math, science, reading, English, and writing. I completed my undergraduate degree at Youngstown State University and graduated with my bachelors in science. I then went on to obtain my masters in public health at Case Western. Education is and foremost the most important part of my life and I know that in order to help students learn, I have to first understand their strengths and drawbacks. I believe with my perspective, I can quickly help and foster understanding in all the students whom I will have the opportunity to tutor.
