Experience
Economics & Philosophy Double Major with Honors, 3 years of prior tutoring in all subjects listed, as well as music and music theory. I believe that pursuing any sort of education gives one the opportunity to grow intellectually and socially. Some people will have a harder time than others in taking full advantage of this opportunity. I want to ensure that these people, no matter how big or small their struggle, will get the help they need to succeed in the pursuit of an education. In addition to assisting with particular subjects, I'm good at helping my students develop study habits and organizational skills that will help them manage and maintain their educational track in the long-run. Relevant Coursework: Economics & Philosophy majors, both of which involved heavy quantitative and critical analysis, as well as in-depth reading, critiquing, and paper-writing. Music lessons (Piano) taken for 8 years. Relevant Test Scores: SAT: 750 SAT Reading Comprehension, 740 SAT writing, 700 SAT Math. 720 SAT II in English Literature. AP Tests: Score 5: Calc I, English Comprehension, English Literature, and Music Theory.

Hobbies
My main hobby is music. I play in a local Chapel Hill band which has released 2 full-length records, sold out multiple hometown shows, and toured on bicycles across Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina 3 times. Apart from my academic tutoring experience, I've taught piano, guitar, and Music Theory to students of all ages for 4 years now. I also enjoy reading quite a bit!
