Private tutor in Raleigh, NC
Education
BA in Political Science Davidson College - 2013
Experience
I have experience tutoring middle school students privately for a number of years, and as a part of a non-profit program in NY for three consecutive summers. AP Gov - 4 ACT - 30 In addition to my Political Science classes at Davidson, I've studied Spanish and Latin American culture extensively (courses include Latin American Politics, Spanish American Writers and 300 level Spanish language courses) Throughout my educational experiences, I have realized that learning continues far outside of the classroom. I enjoy helping students enhance their understanding of topics that are broached in the classroom. It is also very empowering for a student to walk back into their class knowing they have a firm understanding of the content because they were able to ask questions in a comfortable, low-stress setting. I find it very rewarding to participate in that experience. Over the years, I have sharpened my skill for distilling information down to its core and communicating it to different groups of people. I think that is crucial for being a successful tutor. I don't like to cram a square peg into a circular hole; if one way of explaining a particular topic does not work, I adapt my style and try something different.

Hobbies
I am interested in community development, dance/arts, food/cooking and college sports. During my downtime, I try to find outdoor activities, like going to the Farmer's Market or checking out an outdoor festival. I enjoy traveling and have studied abroad in Switzerland, Peru and Costa Rica. I loved all three places, but Peru has a special place in my heart because my host family was phenomenal.
