I am a certified teacher with classroom experience teaching English, math, Russian, and intercultural communication. I also have five years of experience tutoring a broad spectrum of students, including gifted students, special needs students, established business professionals, and athletes striving to qualify for the Olympics while earning their degrees. I have always enjoyed teaching others about the things I love and am a life-long learner myself. I enjoy crafting interactive activities for students who struggle with traditional instruction and help students connect what they are learning to their interests and goals.
