About

I offer individualized tutoring for students of all ages. I love learning and want to help others enjoy it! I am passionate about using my love for science and languages to help people live better. I believe knowledge is power, and I am committed to empowering my students to meet whatever thier goals are in the subjects they study.

My favorite part of the job is equipping students with the tools they need to feel empowered and successful in challenging subjects. I love calling attention to the progress students have made.

    Frequently asked questions

    First, I try to get a good understanding of what the student's goals for tutoring are! Based on these goals, we will create an agenda for the sessions together. It is important to me to set goals for a session ahead of time so that the student has time to engage with the material beforehand. 

    I think being willing to adjust goals based on what is working and what isn't is just as important as setting them in the first place. I communicate with students along the way to understand how they think things are going, share my perspective, and adjust to find a better individualized strategy if necessary!
