I'm excited to be a tutor here at Varsity Tutors. I'm a very patient teacher who believes strongly in understanding the "why" behind each topic in order to understand how to solve the problems that a student will face as he/she progresses through a class. Problem-solving skills are a major emphasis in my teachings, as that can streamline the application of knowledge on a test or quiz. I hold a degree in Criminal Justice and am pursuing an additional degree in Computer Science. In my spare time, I'm an avid baseball fan (go Yankees!), movie buff, and bookworm. I enjoy working on my computer and spending time with my fiancé on the weekends.
