Fun and Effective Help in Test Prep, Writing, Speech & Debate!

When I was ten years old, my favorite book was Homer's Odyssey.

The Odyssey was, along with Beowulf, one of the first books I read that showed me the magic of storytelling. Reading the Odyssey made a page as real as a movie. Of course, I have always loved to read anything and everything. But it took falling into the world of the Odyssey to show me why I loved to read. I was fascinated by the portrayals of good and evil, the moral dilemmas Odysseus faced, and the world in which he lived. Above all, I fell in love with its tangibility within my imagination. I felt like I was there, trekking beside Odysseus as he struggled towards his goals.

The Odyssey introduced me to my imagination, and I want to share that passion with others.
My tutoring background includes teaching essay writing, homeschooling, speech, debate, ACT/SAT prep, piano, Sunday School, and art. I currently tutor on Wyzant's platform, and with Foxbridge Prep, and Lasting Impact Speech and Debate. Currently I am a literature major at a classical liberal arts college, where I am a recipient of their Trivium, Academic, Forensics, and Music Scholarships and hold a 3.91 GPA.

I love talking about literature and enjoy giving feedback on writing so students can improve.

Test prep is another area I enjoy. From personal experience, I know how much studying and practicing can help for the ACT and SAT; feedback-rich practice raised my scores to 36 ACT reading, 36 ACT English, and 800 SAT verbal. I would love to help you improve your ACT and SAT scores too!

Are you a public speaker? I can help there too! I'm nationally-awarded in Lincoln Douglas Debate and Collegiate Parliamentary Debate and I’ve won multi-state awards in speech categories as well. We can practice impromptu, work through cases, or whatever you like!

My students say that I'm fun and improve their love of learning; I hope to always make that true! I am tremendously excited to share my love of literature and writing with you. Please contact me with any questions. I would love to work with you
