I am a recent graduate of the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, Arkansas. I graduated with a BA in Creative Writing and a minor in history, and a GPA of 3.689. Before that, I graduated from Plano Senior High School with a 3.545 in 2007.

Over the past 7 years, I have taken multiple classes and seminars on teaching and tutoring. I was the Assistant Editor from 2011 - 2012 and the Editor-in-Chief from 2012 - 2013 of the Vortex Magazine of Literature and Fine Art at the University of Central Arkansas. My creative works have been published in Vortex 37, Vortex 38, Vortex 39, Revel @ Conway, and Polaris Magazine of Undergraduate Literature.

I love writing and history and want to help others learn to love it too! I am willing to work with students of all ages, but especially love working with a middle school, high school and college students.

I understand that everyone learns differently and sometimes it is just finding a way in which the person can retain the information. Whether it is helping someone with their homework or designing lesson plans to further help them learn the subject they are working on, I am prepared to help!

Right now I am tutoring in Plano (and surrounding areas) through the month of August. I only take 3 to 4 students at a time so I can work with your schedule and make sure that every student gets the help they need.
