I am currently Visiting Faculty at Cornell University. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor (2018 - 2021), Lecturer & Associate Lecturer (2016 - 2018), spent time as a Global Residential Fellow at Gottingen University in Germany (2018), and was a Graduate Teaching Assistant (2011 - 2017). Prior to graduate school, I taught in Ohio, New York State, and Vietnam (2007 - 2011).

Subjects I have taught or tutored through the college level include: Math (through Calculus), GRE, PRAXIS, American History, World History, Religious Studies, Analytical Writing, Geography, and ESL. I have also been an academic advisor for Social Studies Education majors.

At the primary school through high school level I have taught and tutored: Math (through Calculus), Science, Language Arts, History, Social Studies, Geography, Biology, Environmental Science, and a number of other subjects.

I don't just know what it takes to succeed in these subjects as a student, I have taught soon-to-be teachers HOW to teach them. In fact, several of my former students are now teaching American History, World History, Geography, and Social Studies courses.

What I love MOST about tutoring is being a champion for the student. I get most excited when they succeed! This is my sole drive.

I have received 5 teaching awards for my teaching and my peer evaluations from fellow professors and parents have always highlighted my skill in classroom instruction. Finally, I have recently given lectures, seminars, and conference presentations at UC Berkeley, Columbia, Cornell, and Harvard.
