I am originally from outside Washington DC and am now an undergraduate student at Washington University in St. Louis. I am planning on majoring in History, Political Science, and Secondary Education or Educational Studies. Even though I am a freshman, I am taking many upper level classes and love exploring my passion for history.
In high school, I was both a tutor for kids at my local middle school as well as a private tutor and tutored in subject from Physics, AB Calculus, and AP World History. I also worked in my local synagogue as a Hebrew School teacher for 1st and 5th grade students, so I have had experience with all ages of children. Additionally, in college, I participate in a program called Each One Teach One. WashU has partnerships with St. Louis Public Schools and students to go schools once a week and tutor the kids as a way to give back to the community.
I want to start as a teacher after graduation, get my master's degree, and move into education policy. I have known I wanted to be a teacher for a long time and cannot see a better way of fulfilling my desires than tutoring.
