I recently graduated with a doctorate in occupational therapy from Marquette University. I grew up in the Chicagoland area and graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a bachelor of psychology and a minor in art. My love for learning and teaching started at a young age because both of my parents are teachers. I practically grew up in schools. I tutored students from a young age and continued on to be a substitute teacher in classrooms. I am a curious learner and always like to know how everything works. That curiosity is applied to my teaching style. I think to learn the whole story should be taught because it is easier for students to understand the concept and retain that knowledge. I have been tutoring with Varsity Tutors for months.
