Another standardized test I help with is the LSAT. I can provide guidance with the Logic Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, and Logic Games. My hobbies include traveling, reading fiction, and sports. Coaching and playing both football and basketball have been a major part of my life.

I have been an educator for 12 years and a lover of literature my entire life. As an educator, my favorite thing is to help someone understand how to find joy (or at least comfort) in reading and writing.

I received my BS in English Education at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC, earned National Board Certification, and have recently completed a MS in Technical Communication through North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC. I have spent my career working with students of all levels, including EC, Honors, and AP. I have also spent much time tutoring students to be successful on the verbal portion of the SAT. In my free time, I of course enjoy reading, but a close second would be traveling. I love a good road trip, and I'm also trying to expand my travels - hopefully going overseas soon!

Even when I was a student, I knew I wanted to help others learn. I love to see students understand a new concept and to grasp new skills. I teach with compassion and patience, and with the belief every student is capable of improvement.
