我毕业于圣路易斯华盛顿大学。我获得了古典文学学士学位，主修拉丁挽歌诗歌，辅修比较文学。高中时，我在北京留学，在那里我有机会参加密集的汉语普通话课程，在天津、山西、广州、上海和山东等中国省份旅行，并与寄宿家庭住在一起。在这段经历中，我用英语辅导中国农民工。高中毕业后，在开始攻读本科学位之前，我有一年的空档期。我回到北京，在一家中国公司工作。在我的空闲时间，我和我的室友周游了中国、香港和泰国。此外，我还辅导过一名中国高中生的英语。我也有辅导美国中学生数学、科学和写作的各种经验。虽然我辅导的科目很广泛，但我对拉丁语、古希腊语、普通话、广东话和数学最感兴趣。 In my experience helping students with their studies, we always have the most fun practicing languages and finding daily applications. I welcome students of all ages, from elementary school to older adulthood, as I believe education can be enjoyable and accessible for everybody. I am a firm proponent of establishing a positive student-tutor relationship, as developing the ability to recognize patterns and problem-solve requires trust and open communication. I try to impart the ability to learn outside of the classroom with the skills that I teach. Moreover, I am comfortable working with students who have learning disabilities. In terms of test prep, I believe that steady effort can achieve great success. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, watching TV/movies/YouTube, creating art, thinking about fashion, spending time with my loved ones, and learning about personal finance.
