If you're looking for a highly adaptive, qualified tutor, with a passion for the subjects they teach, I am the tutor for you.

I grew up as an a military brat, moving 18 times before graduating college! This required me to constantly acclimate to different standards and teaching styles. Fortunately, my father was very focused on my academic performance. He ensured that no matter where we lived, I had an environment that challenged me. By the time I graduated high school, I was one of the 10% of applicants accepted into the United States Military Academy at West Point.

At the United States Military Academy, I served as a tutor for all class years. My subjects included Composition 101, Advanced Composition, general essay editing, and Portuguese. In 2010, I had the opportunity to study in Rio de Janeiro at Brazil's Military Engineering Institute. While in Brazil, I also worked as an English tutor.

After graduating West Point, I commissioned as an officer in the United States Army. As a Logistics Officer, I worked for bosses with many different specialties. This required me to translate how my Soldiers' capabilities could enhance the performance for a combat arms mission. Additionally, the Soldiers I worked with came from all over the world! Interacting with them taught me the importance of observation. By observing others, I was able to interact with them in a way that ensured we remained on the same page and accomplished what we needed to do.

Often times, Soldiers I worked with were taking night classes or completing degrees online. These Soldiers often asked me for assistance with their writing assignments. I found it very fulfilling to be able to help them gain confidence in writing, especially because they often helped me gain confidence with different aspects of our job.

I retired from the Army as a Captain, and am now pursuing my master's degree in Logistics Management. I applied for a position with Varsity Tutors because it offers me flexibility and the opportunity to do something I enjoy. I am happy they selected me to be one of their tutors and hope that you will consider selecting me as well!
