Experience

I am a career teacher with experience teaching and tutoring people of all ages, from kindergarten to college students. I love leading struggling students to success in their studies, and I am very passionate about my work. My favorite subjects to tutor are Phonics, Writing, and English Literature. I enjoy teaching these subjects because I like to build a love for language in my students and help them find connections between the books they read and their own lives. I like to teach by showing students how the material they are learning is useful to their lives and by making my lesson plans engaging. I approach every student with a calm demeanor, and I pride myself in being encouraging and thoughtful while tutoring. I first attended Colorado College, where I earned a bachelor's degree in Sociology with an Art History minor. I graduated magna cum laude. After a break in my schooling, I am now looking to attend graduate school soon, and I plan to focus my graduate studies on Social Work, Journalism, and Public Health and Public Policy. I have many hobbies, including walking my dog, hiking, and snowshoeing. I also appreciate great art and love to travel. In addition, I like to create art by sketching portraits, often of my friends. I enjoy a great cup of tea and This American Life.
