Experience
I attended Georgetown University where I acquired my bachelor's degree in English and government. I also attended Fordham University School of Law where I acquired my Juris Doctor degree. I have approximately 10 years of experience in the tutoring, teaching, and volunteering field. I have worked with students of a variety of ages. I have worked with high school students, undergrads, and grads. I have worked with students to assist them in a number of subjects. I tend to tutor mathematics, the sciences, and test preparation more than anything else. I really favor teaching English, lit, and composition. As for my tutoring style, I like to pay special attention and be focused on each unique student that I have. I understand that no two students are alike. I try to be as imaginative and fun as I can while teaching. I prefer my students to engage while I am teaching. I believe in confronting any issues or problems head on while teaching. When I have free time, I can be found with my eyes glued to a good sci-fi book. I also love watching movies at the cinema and enjoying quality time with my loved ones.
