Experience

I am truly passionate about helping students become strong, successful learners, and I will work with any student who needs help with reading, writing, literature, or English. I received my degrees in English and Secondary Education from Gettysburg College, and I am now pursuing my master's in Reading, Writing, and Literature at the University of Pennsylvania. I have been working with high school students as an English teacher for over a year now. As an undergraduate student I worked as a tutor through various programs. I also served as a sixth grade classroom teacher's aide during my time abroad in England. My extensive experience working with students has taught me a lot about how to be an effective educator. I am invested in the success of all the students I work with. All of my tutoring sessions are creative, informative, and effective. I understand that every student learns differently, and I personalize all of my lesson plans so they meet the individual needs of each student. Outside of teaching and tutoring I enjoy listening to music, attending the theater, writing, and watching and playing sports. I also enjoy singing and playing the piano.
