I’ve always been an honors student (the University of Virginia’s online new publication recently highlighted me as an “amazing grad” of 2013), but that doesn’t mean that certain classes or standardized tests have always come easily to me. I understand the pressure of academic performance and the frustration that comes with “just not getting it.” I want to help! My relaxed, positive attitude will instantly put otherwise discouraged students at ease, and we’ll work through the material in a new way. Given my training in the dramatic arts, I’m the perfect fit for artistically inclined students who might need extra help with math, though I feel confident in my ability to engage students with a variety of interests. Whether they’re looking for a general review or a specific testing strategy, if students want to learn, there’s a way to teach them!
