RESUME
Professional ​
info​​
Creative and talented tutor (5+ years of experience) who has been praised for unorthodox pedagogy, respectful attitude, and clever fielding of student questions and concerns. During my time tutoring for numerous institutions (Huntington, Regis U, and Indiana U), a majority of students, when asked post-session, specifically requested additional sessions with me. While I specialize in education, my talents extend into content writing, creative writing, and research.
