Private tutor in Parkville, MD
Education
Loyola University Maryland - BA, Philosophy, History
Experience
I graduated from Loyola College with a Bachelor of Arts in History and Philosophy and a minor in Asian Studies. I graduated with departmental awards in both of my majors. After graduation, I worked at a learning center, where I learned how to help students achieve their goals through cognitive testing, academic coaching, and standardized test preparation. My approach as a tutor was shaped by the many lessons I learned from observing the learning center's students' unique thought processes. Now, I focus on identifying the right method to use to teach each of my students. I truly believe that students learn best when they make connections to what they are studying, and I strive to share my passion for education with each student. I am able to tutor students in a wide variety of subjects, but I particularly enjoy helping students increase their knowledge in History, Literature and Writing, Social Studies, Study and Organizational Skills, and General Humanities. I have also had success in developing key strategies and techniques to prepare for the Critical Reading and Writing sections of standardized tests, including AP- and IB- level Literature and History courses. I am a composer and audio engineer, so when I'm not tutoring, I dive into various projects that help me combine my passion for music with my love of teaching. I play the piano, drums, guitar, bass, and vibraphones.
