"I earned my degree from the University of Missouri, where I majored in English and minored in U.S. history. My academic background gives me a strong foundation in writing, critical thinking, historical analysis, and communication—skills I bring into every tutoring session. In addition to my liberal arts education, I am fully licensed in the financial industry, holding the Series 7, 9, 10, 24, and 63 licenses, and I am ACAMS certified. I’ve successfully prepared for and passed each of these exams, and I enjoy helping others navigate the material with confidence and clarity.

I am available to work with a wide range of students in one-on-one settings, including elementary learners and adults studying for professional exams. My approach is highly adaptable: with younger students, I focus on building a strong academic foundation through structured support and positive reinforcement; with older students, I emphasize efficiency, comprehension, and test-readiness. I provide support in English, U.S. history, elementary education, and financial exam prep, and I tailor my methods to meet each student’s unique learning style and goals.

Whether supporting a child in improving reading comprehension or helping an adult through Series 7 prep, my goal is always the same: to create a thoughtful, encouraging environment where students feel supported and empowered to succeed." less...
