Experience

Award-winning and innovative educator with over 8 years high school English teaching experience at some of the most prestigious Philadelphia independent schools. I teach because I love being a part of a teenager's journey of intellectual curiosity. As a tutor, each skill-based lesson is designed to give students the tools for academic success, adapting them to fit their individual needs. I love tutoring students because I look forward to creating opportunities for students to excel and get to know themselves better as learners.

Hobbies

Aside from teaching, I love playing tennis, learning how to play guitar, seeing live music, cooking, and experimenting with photography. I love to travel--in the past two years, I have led service trips to an elephant sanctuary in Cambodia, a Maori reservation in New Zealand, and a community rebuilding project in New Orleans's Ninth Ward.
