As a graduate student at Boston College, I believe that education can open new opportunities throughout life. With two years of volunteer tutoring experience, with both 4th and 8th graders, I believe in making learning fun, relevant and interactive. Every single student learns differently and it is vital to learn how each student learns in order to aid them in succeeding.

I have experience tutoring subjects ranging from elementary school math to AP Biology and Chemistry. I also volunteer as a Spanish translator and English teacher for Adult ESL classes.
