I am a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis where I recieved my degree in Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology and Drama. While at WashU, I completed independent and original research on the reliability and accuracy of earwitness testimony--ultimately culminating in an honors thesis and graduating summa cum laude. I have over 7 years and thousands of hours of teaching experience, educating all ages and levels of students (from kindergarten to high school juniors and seniors). Though I have a wide range of academic interests, I am particularly passionate about helping students achieve their goals in standardized testing and application essay editing. As a National Speech and Debate All American, I also enjoy helping students become more confident public speakers, speech writing, and debate preparation. I am a firm believer that learning should be both educational and fun, finding that it also leads to the best outcomes. I individually customize each of my tutoring sessions to fit the needs and learning styles of each student, ensuring that they are front and center. In my free time, you will probably find my performing in a musical, arranging music for my acapella group, or hanging out with my tuxedo cat Phoebe.
