I love being able to help students excel in their classes and see their progress while tutoring them. I started tutoring in high school, and I’ve continued in college because it helps me stay connected with learning techniques and helps others grasp concepts that I have personally experienced difficulty with in the past. I have trained most extensively in high school math and SAT prep, but I enjoy tutoring languages, history, and science as well. I am very passionate about learning languages since I speak Polish, Spanish, French, and German. When I’m not studying or working, I enjoy hiking and traveling around the world. A personal favorite adventure of mine was hiking the Inca Trail in Peru a few years ago.
