Education
Adams State University - BA, English
Experience
I attended Adams State University, but before I decided to pursue a college degree, I spent time traveling all over the world. I visited many countries, including New Zealand, China, and others. I enjoyed my travels, because I had the opportunity to experience many different cultures and I got to meet many people with a variety of beliefs, and I found this experience very valuable to me. I have always been a lover of learning new perspectives on life. When I finished my travels, I decided to pursue a degree in English. I chose this major, because I wanted to learn how to communicate with others better, and I have also always had a passion for storytelling. I can tutor a wide range of subjects, including many English- and writing-based courses, social sciences, biology, astronomy, sociology, philosophy, computer science, and many others. I also enjoy helping students prepare for tests, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, PSAT, and others. When I tutor, I like to introduce new ideas to students while still honing their old ideas and keeping them in mind. Every student has a unique and individual creative process, and I always remember this when helping students. When not tutoring, I enjoy hiking and creative engineering. I also have a great love for music.
