I graduated magna cum laude from Mount Holyoke College with a degree in philosophy and education. I am a licensed high school history teacher, but have worked with 2-year-olds, college undergraduates, and every age in between. I have previously tutored preschoolers through high schoolers in math and reading, and worked at a university in Santiago with Chilean undergraduates studying both English as a second language and the teaching of English. I am most passionate about teaching in the humanities, but find that working with students on any subject is fulfilling, including standardized test prep. Having lived abroad in Spain and Chile, I also know the importance of connecting classroom learning in Spanish to the actual experience of the language and am always excited to help Spanish come alive beyond conjugation worksheets. Regardless of subject, I strive to ensure that my students build the strategies and confidence they need to be capable, self-directed learners. My own interests include reading, camping and hiking, cooking, and rugby.
