I am a recent graduate of Boston University, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Secondary Social Studies Education. I have my Massachusetts teaching license for History, grades 5-12. For my student teaching practicum, I taught American History and US Government at a high school just south of Boston. I also spent four years working at the Boston University Undergraduate Admissions Office and therefore am well versed in the college application admissions process. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about History, Government, and college prep. I thoroughly enjoy working with students and feel that good learning only happens through a solid foundation of understanding – if you don’t understand Algebra 2, then you can’t learn Calculus. Similarly, if you never learned about the Revolutionary War and the creation of the Constitution, then you can’t properly learn about US Politics and Government. Additionally, I believe that a quality education is the key to not only a successful but a fulfilling and happy life. I am an avid politico and am currently working at a government affairs firm in downtown Washington, D.C; eventually I would like to have a job in education policy. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling to visit friends and family, running, hiking, and exploring Washington, D.C. Go Terriers!
