Last May I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Bucknell University. While at school, I majored in both Political Science, and Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies. Although I have finished my undergraduate degree, next August I will be continuing my education as I will be attending Law School at the University of Pennsylvania. Tutoring has been an important and constant part of my life since my freshman year at Bucknell University where I joined an organization that provided reading tutors for children from the local elementary school in Lewisburg, PA. That experience brought me to recognize my fondness for tutoring, and led me to tutor students during all available opportunities. I spent each summer of college working at a summer camp where I would tutor students of all ages in a range of subjects. The subjects that I am most passionate about are English, History, and LSAT preparation. It may sound odd that I am passionate about teaching a standardized test, but witnessing the extent of improvement that can be obtained by students in only a few sessions is truly an invigorating experience. Throughout my personal struggles with academics, and my work with students of all ages I have discovered the value of the individualization of course materials to meet the unique needs of each student. I believe that all students are unique, and thus have their own personal styles of interpreting and retaining information. By teaching students through lessons created in harmony with an individuals learning style, students are able to understand information at a whole new level. I believe that all students are capable of achieving academic success, they just need information to be communicated in a way that their unique minds can process. During my free time I like to play sports, read, and travel. I love playing basketball, football and golf; and also am an avid Philadelphia Sports fan.
