I just graduated from the Honors College at the University of Houston magna cum laude with B.A.s in English and political science and am set to begin a creative writing MFA program at The New School next fall. I have directed multiple plays throughout high school and college and worked with a team of more than 50 students under my wing as co-managing editor of Glass Mountain, the University of Houston's literary magazine, where I regularly instructed people of all ages and made sure they all had an enriching experience and knew what to do. I currently work as an editor and proofreader for a political action committee and a newspaper. While I am thus well-versed in English and social studies above all other subjects, I've also tutored students in other subjects, typically math. My teachers have been some of my most important role models, and I'd like to use what they've taught me to help enrich others' lives too. I believe in hands-on learning and taking time to ensure a student knows the subject material while never directly giving them the answer (unless to one of my own problems as an example), instead helping them work toward it so that they can understand the steps needed to reach it on their own in the future. In my free time, I enjoy writing and am currently working on my eighth novel. For the time being, I am only tutoring virtually.
