Hobbies

I am a full time student and part time academic coach pursuing a degree in English Education. I have always welcomed the opportunity to work with students both one-on-one and in small or large group settings as I enjoy watching them grow academically. Often times students have the skills set but are not confident in using them. It is my job to help them grow, through trial and error, investigative questioning, and pushing towards their higher level critical thinking skills, to get them to their highest potential socially and academically. My experience, coupled with my ability to differentiate my teaching, allows me to work with students at any academic level wanting to succeed.
