I have always loved working with kids. My first job was as a swim teacher where I led classes for new parents and their toddlers, elementary school kids, and disabled adults, on how to feel comfortable in the water, how to dive, and how to practice safety skills. My favorite part of lessons was learning about each kid - the best parts of their days, the things that excite them, and their most-loved songs as we sang them together when we learned how to kick and float.

I started my tutoring journey in high school as well where I led writing and essay-editing workshops through a club I launched called the Writing Center. Even though I hated waking up early in the mornings, I loved meeting my peers to help them in AP Chemistry, BC Calculus, and other subjects. During my senior year for my Independent Senior Project, I chose to spend my time as a first grade teaching assistant where I made my own lesson plans and led classes in order to compile a binder of all of my students' stories that included their drafts and final essays.

My love for teaching only continued in college where I started working for a tutoring service called GoPeer, clocking in over 10 hours a week, while managing a full course load and extra classes and clubs. To date, on GoPeer alone, I have led over 1,100 hours of lessons with over 50 clients in over 10 subjects. I have even more hours unaccounted for from lessons I have held privately.
