I have my BA from Michigan (2010) and my MA from Colorado (2014). As for standardized tests, I received a 34 on the ACT and a 1400 on the GRE.

I spent last year teaching at Mullen High School. I would say I have a very good rapport with students between the ages of 16 and 24.

I've been tutoring since I was an undergraduate student at University of Michigan. In the Boulder area I've tutored: Latin, Greek, Writing, ACT, SAT, GRE, general academic support, various eras of history, and college prep. I've also tutored for the CU athletics dept. I also focus on working with students who have ADHD (as I also have ADHD).

I think it's important to make my expectations clear to the student and to also keep the parents in the loop (if we're talking about HS students). I assign homework between lessons and begin every lesson with an in-depth review of the assignment. I try to tailor my style of teaching to each individual student. Some students need structure, others need motivation, and others just need someone to believe they can do it. I do my best to help every student.

I'm very flexible with my scheduling. I have a 3-hour cancellation policy, but if a student no-call no-shows, I wi" less...
