I am a sophomore at Lehigh University studying Mechanical Engineering and Design through the university's Honors IDEAS program. In high school, I volunteered as a tutor for elementary and middle school students learning the viola through the organization Music for Everyone. I also tutored high school students in American History through the National Honors Society. I loved these tutoring roles, and it was such a joy to get to know different students and help them with their studies. Through my experiences tutoring others, as well as attending a few tutoring sessions in college, I have seen what a difference this kind of personal learning experience can have. As a tutor, I feel the most important thing is to be encouraging and empathetic, working to understand each individual student's learning style so I can help them most effectively. I am most interested in tutoring in English Literature, math, and SAT Prep. I have taken countless Literature courses throughout high school and college, and it is one of my very favorite subjects. I have also had significant experience with math courses, from algebra to multivariable calculus as an engineering student. I am also excited about helping students prepare for the SAT because I have taken it in the last two years, and I remember all too well what a daunting experience it can be. I would love to help make this stressful part of high school easier for students. In my free time, I enjoy playing the viola and the piano, reading, and drawing.
