Duke Trained Math and English Tutor

I graduated Magna cum Laude from Duke University with a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy. At Duke, I also studied Economics and took coursework in Math and Child Psychology. I have experience tutoring students at all levels and have over 600 hours of tutoring or teaching experience.

I have won several awards that pertain to teaching or communication, including:
-Duke Lars Lyon Service Award (awarded to 1 student annually for service to the community)
-Jacqueline A. Morris Fellowship for Child Policy Research
-National Speech and Debate Association Congressional Debate National Champion

I love tutoring and working with students to maximize their potential and build self-mastery. I understand that all students are different, and I tailor my tutoring to match their pace, learning style, and school curriculum. I am especially focused on helping students gain genuine mastery of the subject by first ensuring the student has a solid understanding of foundational concepts and then applying the lessons to real-world examples.

I also have experience working with students with ADD, ADHD, and Dyslexia.

I have taken math coursework through Multivariable Calculus at Duke. I previously scored a 2400 on the SAT, and an 800 on the Math 2 Subject Test. I have extensive experience with the AP subject tests, scoring a 5 on 10 AP exams, including BC Calculus and Statistics.

I have received a 5 on both the AP English Language and AP English Literature Exams. Additionally, I have 5+ years of experience coaching debate.
