United States Air Force Academy, Florida Atlantic University
USAFA grad, MD, and returned Peace Corps Volunteer who loves to teach & coach
I am a 2004 graduate of the United States Air Force Academy with a Bachelor of Science in philosophy & humanities. After graduation from college, I joined the United States Peace Corps and, for two years, lived in a small village in the sub-Saharan African country of Zambia. While there, I collaborated with Zambian colleagues at the grassroots level to increase rural awareness of preventive health measures to protect against malaria and other common diseases. Upon my return to the US from Africa, I began tutoring, and continued to do so as I worked my way through medical school. Subjects of expertise include standardized test prep, reading & writing, and math. My medical school experience forced me to learn techniques for efficient retention of large volumes of information. I, in turn, teach students these techniques, thus helping them retain what they have learned. I graduated from medical school in 2017 and continued tutoring, now with an additional focus on coaching. I believe this is what makes me unique as a tutor. I help students define goals, establish habits, and create systems that support good habits. We troubleshoot as difficulties maintaining habits arise, and modify our approach accordingly. I love helping students find their talents and translate them into career paths, including helping students find and apply for relevant programs of study, and finding professionals in those fields to advise and inspire. My medical knowledge, specifically my interest in mental health and how it contributes to academic & other success, also informs my work with students. I’ve successfully helped students with interventions like vitamin supplementation, dietary changes, and medication compliance for ADHD and other conditions, and more. I’ve consistently seen big improvements in students’ ability to focus, follow through, and in so doing, feel better about themselves. Please reach out if I can be of help to you or your student!

Law, Political Science & Academic Writing Tutor | Research, Essays & Exam Prep
I’m a law student with a strong background in legal research, academic writing, political science, and analytical reasoning. I work with both undergraduate and law students and can tailor tutoring to your course, assignment, or academic level. My areas of focus include criminal law, constitutional law, torts, remedies, political sciences, social sciences, legal studies, academic research, and essay writing. I can help with understanding difficult concepts and readings, essay planning and structure, developing stronger arguments, research, editing, case analysis, exam preparation, and improving the clarity and persuasiveness of your writing. Whether you’re an undergraduate trying to strengthen an essay, a political science student working through complex material, or a law student preparing for an exam, my goal is to help you understand the material and develop skills you can use independently going forward.
