Experience
I've had experience in front of the classroom, in small groups and in one-on-one settings. My tutoring experience extends to a variety of environments and I know how to differentiate my instruction to meet the needs of every student. As a full-time social studies teacher, every day I interact with students of a variety of backgrounds and skill sets, and I view myself as a partner in their learning. Tutoring should also be such a partnership! Beyond my teaching content, I have taught a number of SAT courses and have tutored students at the middle and high school level in all subjects. I am especially comfortable with reading and writing at all grade levels, and math at the middle and elementary level. Finally, I am trained in test prep and can cater instruction to the PARCC, SAT or AP exams.

Hobbies
After school, I am a mock trial team coach and, in the fall, a marching band instructor! Music has been a passion of mine since I was an elementary school student and in my adult life I like to give back to the groups that gave me confidence as a young learner. I am also a runner, reader and movie fan in my spare time. All in all, I am passionate about life and learning and am always seeking out ways to share this passion!
