Experience
I'm a tutor who is based out of Washington, DC, where I enjoy reading, hiking, and playing soccer when I'm not in the classroom working with students. I have my bachelor's degree in American studies from the University of Maryland-College Park. As a tutor, I'm able to provide my students with lessons in a variety of subjects. Some of what I've taught in the past has been standardized test preparation, literature, English, and writing, amongst other things. I seek to empower the students I work with, giving them the confidence they need to experience future academic success. I'm currently working as a composition and literature teacher at a community college, where I also tutor at the college's writing center. I always strive to keep the lessons I provide fun and engaging when possible. I know that students are more interested and engaged when they actually enjoy being in the classroom, which is why I always keep the learning environment fun and positive. I'm passionate about helping students reach new heights in their educational pursuits. I'd love to use the skills I've spent my career developing to help you achieve your goals.
