"I am a dedicated social sciences student at Ball State University with academic concentrations in sociology, political science, philosophy, and criminal justice. My studies have strengthened my critical thinking, writing, and analytical skills, as well as my ability to explain complex ideas in ways that feel relatable and easy to understand. I approach education as both an intellectual and personal process—one that helps students build confidence, curiosity, and a sense of ownership over their learning.
I have worked with students in both peer and volunteer settings, offering academic support in writing, reading comprehension, and social science coursework. My tutoring style is empathetic, patient, and tailored to each learner’s strengths. I emphasize active discussion, real-world application, and reflection to help students make meaningful connections between what they learn and how they think about the world. Whether guiding a student through an essay, helping them unpack sociological theory, or strengthening study habits, my goal is always to make learning empowering and enjoyable.
Above all, I believe effective tutoring goes beyond memorization—it’s about developing critical thinking, confidence, and a genuine love of learning. I strive to create a supportive environment where every student feels seen, capable, and motivated to reach their full potential." less...
