I am a graduate student in my late twenties with over a decade of experience working with children and teens as a caretaker, teacher, counselor, and tutor. As a school counseling graduate student, I work during the school year in middle and high schools providing academic and socio-emotional wellness counseling. I have also taught art and theater at summer day camps and at a residential summer art program for teens. Additionally, I am a seasoned academic tutor specializing in humanities and test preparation subjects. I can help your children with any homework, standardized test preparation, or summer enrichment projects that they have undertaken. Composition, grammar, critical reading, literature, history, SSAT, PSAT, SAT, and ACT are my specialties. More about me: I am a cautious driver, a pet enthusiast (I am a proud corgi mom!), and an avid cook with extensive knowledge of cooking and baking to accommodate food allergies. I Read more love writing, visual art, photography, and film. I have had experience babysitting up to five children at once - and of course, classroom management experience guiding larger groups, which I draw on in my home-based work! :) Please ask me about my stellar references!
