Fun Facts

In my free time, I enjoy reading, skateboarding, music, cooking, cards, movies and simply spending time with friends. I play drums, and when time permits, jam with my fellow roommates or some other tenants that live in our building. Living in Los Angeles, there are many hiking destinations, and when I have some spare days, enjoy hiking and camping as well as experiencing the numerous museums and sights this city has to offer. I’ve always enjoyed music, literature and the arts, but also computers

About Me

I am currently a full-time UCLA Junior majoring in English Literature. Upon graduating, I plan on interning, working, and traveling for a few years before pursuing graduate school – either Law or Business school. By forming a strong educational foundation, I hope to become financially stable by working in Law or at a television company.

During high school and college, I worked as an independent tutor. Setting up fliers around my school, I tutored other students, referrals from these clients, as well as friends and neighbors. Being on referral basis, I tutored a wide range of subjects and students from around orange">Orange County.

Tutoring both basic Elementary to advanced College students has given me a distinguished understanding of how different students of different grades and capabilities require a unique, specific tutoring methodology and technique to allow them to most efficiently progress. However, there are some fundamentals that I adhere to regardless of the student: a Socratic process of learning. Giving a student “the answer” without they themselves understanding why and how they or I arrived at the answer will not benefit them during the session, after the session, during homework or on a test. To benefit the student the most, I assume no prior knowledge when the session starts and create a friendly, helpful atmosphere so the student is compelled to be honest and more importantly, comfortable. By mentoring them step by step, and letting them truly work out a problem, this will prepare them for when I’m not in the room, and when the time comes when they have to rely on themselves, they will find they naturally can. Ideally, the student will begin to ask similar questions to themselves when facing a new problem, and will be more self-sufficient in and out of the classroom.
