I graduated from Gettysburg College in 2012 with Bachelors Degrees in History and Political Science. In college, I frequently tutored my classmates, helping them to prepare for tests and presentations. I have worked extensively with children, accumulating five years of experience as a camp counselor in addition to several years as a swim instructor and coach to all ages. I was raised in an academic household, and although I struggled as a young student, I learned to embrace academic challenge and thrived as a student in high school and college, and I am now preparing to continue my education in graduate school. My experience taught me that all students, no matter their situation, have the potential to succeed academically, and I work hard to instill this belief in my pupils. Though I tutor a wide range of subjects, I have a special passion for the social sciences, particularly History, and I enjoy tutoring a variety of students, from those who do not fit the academic mold (especially ADD students) to those looking to boost their academic standing with a strong performance in advanced AP level courses. In my spare time I enjoy physical activities like long distance running, hiking, kayaking, and travel when I have the time.
