I have always been passionate about writing, and I love to help others become more confident with critical reading, writing, and English, among other subjects! I graduated from a small liberal arts college near St. Louis where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with an environmental science and ecology focus. During college, I worked as a writing tutor to help students successfully navigate challenging writing assignments. I used various strategies to coach students with grammar, writing, structure, and style. In the years since I graduated, I have taught environmental science to groups of students visiting residential science centers. There are many effective ways to approach teaching, and I love using hands-on activities to teach concepts and engage students. I tutor English and Reading for Standardized Tests, test prep, environmental science, and more. A couple of my hobbies are dancing and traveling - I've visited Iceland, France, Switzerland, and Austria.
