In 2015 I graduated from Valparaiso University with Bachelor's degrees in History and Classical Studies, taking classes in both Latin and civilization, and minored in Theology. While in college I participated in a number of tutoring programs where I tutored not only my peers in college level classes but also worked with local elementary school students as they prepared for their ISTEP exams. After graduation I served for two years at a high school in Chicago as part of a post-graduate volunteer program. While there I was able to teach sections of Latin and World History. As a tutor I look forward not only to helping students achieve their academic goals, but also guiding them to a greater appreciation for their education, especially in the area of history and Latin. In my two years as a teacher I have found that often a student gains far more from the one-to-one experiences. I look forward to the opportunity to bring out the best in each student in this way.
