Compassionate coaching and student empowerment, with an eye towards conceptual understanding and long term academic success....

…College, Master's Degree in Women's History, and I am eager to share my enthusiasm for learning with you. I studied political science at Brown University, but I enjoy reading about subjects as diverse as astronomy, sustainability, and literature too. I had some study tactics that worked for me, especially for high school subjects and standardized tests. I can share these with you but also try to help you with tactics that you've already developed.... I love to learn, and I want to cultivate that love of knowledge in students. If you are studying for a particular test, you may need to learn very specific skills or problem types. I can help you with that, but above all, I want to help you to think critically, dig deep into the details, and connect ideas in the grand scheme of things.
