"I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Afro American Studies from Howard University, where I developed strong research, writing, and analytical skills that directly support my ability to tutor in areas such as English, history, and the social sciences. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I focused on topics involving critical thinking, cultural analysis, and effective communication—skills I have consistently applied in tutoring settings. My academic background equips me with a deep understanding of interdisciplinary concepts and a strong foundation in essay writing, source evaluation, and thematic synthesis.

While attending Howard, I served as a tutor with Raising a Village, a nonprofit organization that places college students in public schools throughout Washington, DC. In this role, I worked closely with elementary and middle school students, providing one-on-one and small group academic support in reading, writing, and math. I adapted lesson strategies to meet the unique needs of each student, focusing on building foundational skills and increasing academic confidence. My approach is student-centered and strengths-based, emphasizing patience, encouragement, and clear, practical instruction. These varied experiences have given me the flexibility and insight to work effectively with diverse learners in both classroom and informal educational settings." less...
