I am a master's student at Western Washington University studying how nitrogen moves around an ecosystem. I did my undergraduate at Michigan Tech University where I studying Environmental Sciences and Math, which consequently are my two favorite subjects to tutor! While these two may seem very different, at their core, they're all about how things work. I've always found that if you peak behind the curtain at how something works, nothing is as scary or difficult as it may seem. Let's figure it out together!

I am a graduate of Northwestern Law, where I served on the board of the Journal of International Human Rights. Prior to law school, I taught courses and provided one-on-one tutoring on the SAT, ACT and GRE. More recently, I have focused on helping students master the LSAT. I particularly enjoy providing individualized instruction. We each have strengths and weaknesses when it comes to learning and test-taking, and I've found that remarkable advancements happen when an approach is tailored to the student's unique attributes.I recently moved to the New York area after working in litigation in Chicago. Outside of work, I spend a lot of time exploring the area and reading.

Recent MS graduate in Environmental Engineering at Michigan Tech and BS/MS graduate in Environmental Systems: Environmental Chemistry at University of California, San Diego.

I have a firm belief that any student, regardless of background, can be successful in any area of life if he, she, or they are given the right tools and sufficient support to reach that point. Due to this, I try to challenge students to think outside the box to come to an answer, and I tend to not just give students the answer to the question they ask. Instead, I see what they think the possible answer is so that I can better understand their train of thought and what they fully comprehend at that moment. This aids me in developing adequate tutoring methods that best fit the students' needs. This includes explaining concepts that may seem tricky, going through practice problems, and finding comparisons to the students' own life that may aid in remembering what to do in certain situations. In accordance with that, I have found that simply giving a student an answer to a question does not aid in their learning, which can be detrimental when a test rolls around. I have found students who have been given the skills and support to figure out a difficult problem or concept by themselves find greater satisfaction in their schoolwork. That satisfaction also appears to reduce stress related to academics, as the students learn that they truly are capable of doing things they may have never thought possible.Currently I am a doctoral student at Antioch University New England studying clinical psychology. In the past I have attended Fairleigh Dickinson University where I obtained a master's degree in forensic psychology, and Michigan Technological University where I obtained a bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in law and society.
