Fun Facts

I love to spend my free time by getting away from the noise of the city I live in. I do this by hiking in the beautiful mountains which ring this city. I enjoy discovering new trails and revisiting the most beautiful trails I've hiked in the past. I also love to practice yoga while enjoying peace and quiet.

About Me

I am a recent graduate of Loyola Marymount University. I majored in philosophy during college, but also enjoyed my studies Classical Greek and theology. I intend to continue my studies in the future in philosophy or a related field. I would love to teach in the future, but my primary goal is to help make the world a better place for future generations.

I started out tutoring a classmate in symbolic logic. I loved the experience of helping a student who was previously struggling to succeed and understand the subject. I then applied to be a writing tutor at the Academic Resource Center on my college campus. I tutored students from all different backgrounds; from dance majors to english majors, from freshmen to graduate students. Every student presented new challenges and helped me improve as a tutor.

I approach tutoring not as a teacher but as partner. I want to help each student find the answer themselves. I find that by asking thoughtful questions and focussing on big picture issues, like organization in writing, students often will excel all on their own. This is great as it gives them a positive attitude towards learning.
