I graduated from Harvard Divinity School with a Master of Divinity degree in May 2023. Before this adventure, I served as an English teaching assistant in Hamburg, Germany through the U.S. Fulbright scholarship program. I graduated from the University of Minnesota, Morris in 2017, where I earned respective Bachelor's degrees in English, German Studies, and Medieval Studies. All told, I have nearly ten years of formal tutoring experience, particularly in academic and creative writing, reading comprehension, and college test-prep. My tutoring methodology centers around positive psychology, meaning that I encourage students by focusing on their strengths and building confidence in their skills and potential. I believe wholeheartedly in the value of discussion when teaching and learning; neither happens in a vacuum, and as both are constant processes, I recognize that collaboration and patience are key. As such, I consciously invest time and energy into building relationships with my students, and my teaching style lends itself to being informal and conversational. I have particular experience with meeting the needs of students with ADHD, dyslexia, and various forms of autism. I'm excited to connect!
