As a recent graduate from Dominican University with dual Bachelor's degrees in Psychology and Social Justice, with a focus on Pre-law, I am excited to begin this chapter as a tutor on this platform. Although it is the beginning of my journey on Varsity Tutors, I bring over 6 years of tutoring experience across various subjects. These subjects include math up to the Statistics level, Elementary English/ Math/ Spelling, Criminal Justice, and Psychology. I have recently begun tutoring high-level reading, writing, and research, as my degrees required the development of these skills. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable exploring concepts through conversation, interactive activities, and practice scenarios. I believe that learning should be both challenging and enjoyable, which is why I incorporate games and challenges to motivate younger students. My goal is to connect with each student individually, adapting my methods to fit their unique needs. I am particularly passionate about helping students develop critical thinking skills and confidence in their abilities, and I find great joy in their academic progress. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy spending time with my two cats, reading, writing, and exploring new ways to stay active.
