I am a graduate of Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English with a focus on British and American literature and also minored in Psychology. After working for few years after college, I returned to school at Columbia University where I studied Chemistry, Biology, and Physics on my way to completing a certificate program in premedical studies. Since then, I have worked in several healthcare offices, and I am currently preparing to return to school to complete a nursing program. I have previously tutored students in Chemistry, Biology, and English for the Peter Westbrook Foundation, a non-profit that teaches middle- and high-school students the sport of fencing and offers free academic tutoring to its students. I am also currently a Sunday school teacher at my church in Brooklyn. I tutor in Chemistry, Biology, and English. I have a great enthusiasm for each of the subjects I teach, and I try to pass that enthusiasm on to my students. Some of my other interests include soccer (both playing and watching), biking, and hiking.
