I graduated from West Islip High School as class valedictorian in 2013. My tutoring career began on a mission trip to El Salvador in which I tutored children from different villages in English and Math. I went on to do a community outreach tutoring program for children in the community of Providence, Rhode Island near my university. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor are Math, Spanish, Environmental and Earth Science, and Biology. I'm passionate about helping students because I've seen many have that "a-ha moment" while tutoring, and I know how important those moments are to their understanding and learning. I want to help more students find those moments of clarity in whatever subject they are struggling in so that they can have more confidence in their abilities and succeed. My tutoring philosophy is to give students the skills and tools they need to understand and learn without telling them how to do everything. I teach students to practice to perfection, which involves re-doing problems until they get it right the first time, which demonstrates complete understanding. My tutoring style is characterized by patience and I'm very attentive, making sure they are truly understanding when I ask the question, "does that make sense?"Outside of academia I'm interested in art and have founded my own art club at Brown. I also have pursued my interests in photography, embroidery, sailing, gardening, and sustainable agriculture and composting.
