Education

The College of William & Mary - BA, Political Economy, History

Experience

I have a bachelor's degree in political economy and history that I earned at the College of William and Mary. I was awarded with a Presidential Fellowship, and I was able to work in Rome at a think tank. I have a strong academic background in a wide array of topics, but my specialties are international affairs, world history, government, and politics. When I work with students, I am patient, and I create an environment that help students feel comfortable to be open and honest about what they know and what they don't. Not everyone can be good at everything, but everyone can get better, and I can provide assistance with that. There many different ways of teaching, and I'm good at adjusting my approach to provide a way that works for the student I'm working with. I also utilize examples, practical applications, and analogies to help students visualize ideas and retain them. In addition to the subjects I tutor, I can also help students prepare for the GRE, SAT, PSAT, ACT, and other standardized exams. I can share test taking strategies that work for me, patterns in these tests that can be identified, and suggestions for writing quick and meaningful essays. I also can help students reduce test anxiety.
