Tutoring started a passion for helping younger students and peers find confidence in their math skills and I followed that love into a career teaching middle and high school math and science. Having transitioned into a corporate job after teaching for more than 10 years, I miss working with teens and helping them find those "ah ha" moments. I will bring my passion, and experience, to help your student build the skills and confidence to be successful in math and science by meeting them where they are at and helping them grow from there.

I am a graduate from Washington University in St. Louis with a major in Economics and minors in Marketing and Design. I have experience tutoring young children, teens, and adults in reading, writing, and math, as well as test prep. In addition to tutoring, I have experience training new employees at numerous jobs I have worked since I was 16 to my current age of 25. I am comfortable in a position of teaching and am very patient with my students. My goal is to give students the necessary tools and building blocks to be successful long term. I want them to see results and to feel confident and excited to learn.

I have always loved learning, and I hope to help other students feel confident about the material they are learning in school too. I am especially passionate about writing, language arts, and science, and I am comfortable working with students in grades 4-12. As a student with ADHD who has found success in school, I believe that any student can be a successful learner if they are provided with the right tools and support to do so. I will work with my students towards not only achieving tangible goals, but also increasing conf
