Experience
I earned my bachelor of arts degree in History from the University of California at Davis, and went on to obtain my master's degree in Social Science Research at the University of Chicago. I then spent a number of years working in the private sector, when I chose to follow my heart and switch to a teaching career. I'm now pursuing my master's degree in Teaching from the University of Maryland, at the University College. Tutoring is what led me to this decision. I enjoyed that more than working in the private sector. It gives me the opportunity to apply skills I am learning now, as I assist students while they work to succeed in a variety of classes. I am able to tutor students in many classes, including history, literature, English and language arts, math, and science. I can tutor for a number of AP classes, and have also experienced success in assisting students who are preparing for standardized exams, such as the SAT, ACT, GRE, and more. My job as a tutor is not to give my students answers, but to guide them with the skills they need to discover their own answers to problems. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, reading science fiction, and singing.
