I am an alumnus of the University of Washington (2006) with a degree in geography and history. I am planning on attending Seattle University's Masters of Arts in Teaching program within the next nine months. I have research experience and have travelled extensively in more than 40 countries. For over two years, I lived in the Republic of Georgia, where I taught ESL to Georgian police officers, academy staff and cadets. I also tutored private students on the side, which included SAT and TOEFL preparation. I am a firm believer in the value of education, and I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with others, especially history, geography and the English language. I greatly love teaching and tutoring, especially when I see my students' progress and achievement of their goals. In my free time, I enjoy travelling, reading, watching films, going to the theatre and playing soccer.
