Hi, I am a senior at Johns Hopkins majoring in Economics and International Studies. Some subjects I tutor include beginner and intermediate economics (including AP exams), high school math, and Calculus AB/Calculus 1. I also plan on adding SAT test prep soon!

Thanks for dedicating time and effort for considering me as a tutor. This is a reflection of your personal efforts to enhance your personal learning journey. I am familiar with struggling early on in life with learning: I had a severe stuttering and comprehension problem in kindergarten and 1st grade. My mother then decided to take me out of public education briefly for 3 years to teach me how to read and write. Because of her intensive work with me, my love for learning soared and I eventually became the top English and Social Sciences student of my high school graduating class. I would eventually become a 4.0 student in college and graduate with honors. I am a living testament of how a deep love for learning combined with perseverance and willingness to ask for help can accumulate into academic success.Out of my own personal story of struggle and eventual success I have come to Varsity Tutors in the effort to help students realize their own capacity for learning. With my two Bachelor of Arts degrees and eclectic learning style, I know from personal experience tutoring others in middle school, high school and college that I can offer myself as a versatile and strong resource for your personal academic needs. My vast public speaking experience, writing skills, reading comprehension techniques, and memorization methods all will help you learn how to enhance your own personal learning style.When I am not working I enjoy running, playing basketball and disc golf, hanging out with friends, and meeting up with friends at comedy clubs. I enjoy watching NBA games, going to the movies, and reading.I look forward to hearing from you and joining you on your learning journey!

I have been tutoring for 6 years, and I'm here to help you with those frustrating writer's blocks and difficult homework assignments. Writing is my bread and butter, and I will make it my duty to improve your writing skills, polish your essays, and increase your confidence in both academic writing and personal statements. I have also taught reading comprehension to younger students, and I have a B.A. in Literature and Composition to help high schools students navigate dense and confusing novels. Let's make English easy.

I am a caring person who has always had the desire to help others. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults ages 3-85. I love to have fun while learning and am great at helping students stay on track! I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from SUNY Geneseo, and am currently enrolled as a graduate Social Work student at the University of Buffalo with an expected Master's degree in May 2022. Between my undergraduate and graduate education, I worked as a counselor and advocate for The Mental Health Association of Columbia and Greene Counties, Inc. In this role, I provided individual counseling and advocacy services to survivors of abuse, assault, and other trauma. I am trained in Motivation Interviewing which is a goal-oriented therapy, great for students who need help finding a direction for themselves!

I have been a classroom teacher for the last 8 years in many different cities around the world. I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity of working in diverse school environments and in many different facets with young learners. I would love to brighten the faces of you and your student with my engaging, creative and enjoyablelessons, always with a positive point of view.

I am a recent graduate from Iowa State in Civil Engineering. I recently moved to Seattle to start a job with Habitat for Humanity working as a Construction Volunteer Lead. I pursued engineering because I enjoy using math and critical thinking to solve complex problems. I am also currently studying for the GRE so that I may apply for grad school next fall.I enjoy all things active. I played ultimate frisbee for my university's club team and hope to find another team to play for here in Seattle. I am happiest when I leave civilization behind and enjoy the outdoors. I love camping, hiking, backpacking, and I recently got into rock climbing.As a tutor, I believe it is my job to provide supplemental instruction that is tailored to my students' needs and learning style. Listing to a teacher explain how to solve a math problem is not everybody's favorite way to learn. Sometimes it just takes someone willing to patiently answer any and all questions. Sometimes it requires someone to show a different technique. Everyone has the ability to learn, you just have to find the right way.

The war began on 25 June 1950: a 14-year-old boy escaped with his seven younger siblings and parents from North Korea to South Korea to avoid the enemy's attack. The young boy promised his grandparents that he would return when the war ended. Assuming he could return in a week or two, he left his two youngest sisters with his grandparents and hid his favorite roller skate under the floor. This boy is my grandfather: it has been 70 years since he left his home. Since I was five, I lived with my grandparents. Many modern families may think it unusual to live with the older generation; however, my worldview has been profoundly shaped by my grandparents' passion, wisdom, and unmeasurable love for their children.In spring 2020, I returned home early due to COVID-19 and I spent a lot of time with my grandfather. He insisted that I was like himself as a youth, since I am also a firstborn of three children. Sharing his own experience of studying, my grandfather told me how his heart beat so quickly when he learned and the joy he felt when he achieved hard work. My own hard work, he reminded me, would be its own reward: I will achieve my dream and be successful if I am diligent and honest. Before I began college, my grandfather's advice did not really influence me. Although he always emphasized morality, hard work, and a genuine heart, I barely listened. After all, I assumed, I was just a little girl living in the protection of a conservative family. I was too inexperienced to understand the depth of his advice; however, when I left home for college, I realized how significant his advice was.College was a challenge! As a firstborn sibling and a first-generation student attending college in America, I always felt pressure to set a high standard for my siblings to follow. I was extremely anxious. Each day, I strove for success and believed that I could never fail. The first two years were painful, specifically because I had weak values and no passion for my future. After 730 days at university, I learned how identity and morality could affect my life's values and passion. A strong identity and morals not only inspire me to do my best work, but also results in strong passion and values. Initially, this realization crushed me, because I had none of these character traits. When I was younger, I was very skeptical about humans because most people seemed to prioritize succeeding in a career, rather than living a moral life. Furthermore, people try to justify their decisions by insisting that this is the only way to succeed in this competitive society. This mindset is very dangerous to immature, impressionable young adults, especially because they have not yet developed a strong identity or morals. Although I attempted to mimic this strategy, I realized that it would crush my passion and soul.Desperate to find my calling, I travelled on a mission trip to Peru in my sophomore year. As a daughter of a pastor, I had been on multiple mission trips with my parents, but this mission trip was my first medical mission trip alone. Based on my previous experiences, I learned that I love to help people and, through my service, to make them smile. In Peru, I loved observing the interaction between dentists and patients and I was amazed to see how dentists could bring back the patients' smiles. Furthermore, during the mission trip, my life's calling became clear. When I saw the patients' relieved faces after treatments, I felt it from my heart that dentistry would be the passion and dream that I had searched for. Just like how my grandfather's heart beat so fast for his own studies, my heart began to beat for dentistry. Reflecting on my college experience, I am thankful that I struggled with my calling, because these experiences not only strengthened my values and passion, but also revealed why I want to become a good dentist. There are numerous intelligent and smart people and these traits may make them successful. During my first two years of college, I thought success should be my ultimate goal because it is the way to survive this competitive society. When my worldview and values strengthened, however, I decided to be a dentist with a warm, caring heart. Just as equilibrium occurs through the transfer of heat from a warmer object to a cooler object, so my warmth and compassion can reach my patients' hearts. Through my service, they will smile again.

For most of my life, I've been a teacher of some sort. In middle and high school, I was an arithmetic and algebra tutor for underprivileged kids; in college, I volunteered in the math and writing centers; now, I'm teach ethics and logic classes in the philosophy department at UW-Madison. Teaching is the most important part of my life, and my role as an educator is what most defines my identity. I have no general guiding principle about teaching, other than that it isn't really useful to think in terms of such principles. Rather, I think that it's best to approach each student as having a distinct learning style and set of educational objectives, and thus, as representing a distinct set of challenges and rewards.
