About
I have proof that I'm the epitome of academic excellence. In high school, I graduated top 25% of my class, finishing with a GPA of 3.2, as for my undergraduate degree, I finished with a 2.7 (3.5 within my minor), and graduate school with a 4.0. I have a passion for anything ELA and social studies and I have adapted great studying skills to excel in both of these areas. I'm currently a member of Kappa Delta Pi, which is an internation honor society for those who are pursing education degrees. I am a mentor, so I assist my mentees with homework help, test prep, and submission of college applications. I did coordinate a homework help club at the Boys and Girls Club in my community.
Being able to service students; knowing that I'll leave a lasting impression on them.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Upon first meeting a new student, I allow the student to introduce him/herself, along with the introduction of who I am. I ask the student what s/he expects from me and what they are looking to accomplish during our sessions. I also ask students what is/are their learning style (s), so that I can be sure to accomodate them during the sessions. I be sure to let them know the expectation I have of them during our sessions to ensure that the student is successful.
