All-Encompassing College Counseling | Hundreds of Students Coached
As a professional academic coach for the past six years, I provide skills, behaviors, and strategies to help students of all ages improve their academic and personal confidence. I strive to be passionate, patient, and empathetic toward all my students. I have helped hundreds of different students increase their test scores hundreds of points and excel in their academic programs. I graduated one year early from the University of Miami double majoring in Environmental Science and Economics. I am passionate about teach students math, science, analytical writing, and evidence based reading. I have experience in and enjoy teaching all ages of students, from elementary to college level. My expertise lies in standardized test prep (SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, etc.), college level courses/APs, Algebra, Geometry, Biology, and more. As a graduate from the University of Miami (UM) in the field of Environmental Science, I have also mentored classes of students at UM in applications of environmental sustainability. Growing up with ADHD and social anxiety in school, I struggled with self-confidence, and I was often worried about my grades. I was not a gifted test-taker, and I had to work harder than most of my classmates to excel academically. However, I was fortunate to have mentors in my life who taught me invaluable skills, and I learned how to transform my weak points into strengths. Even though ADHD caused me to lose focus at times, it also allowed me to hyper-focus my brain and excel. I was fortunate to attend the University of Miami on a merit scholarship, and while in school, I realized that many of my fellow students also had weaknesses, other than ADHD, that caused them to struggle academically. I was able to empathize with their struggles, and I used the knowledge I had gained to help them see their struggles as opportunities to grow, ultimately reaching their potential for success. Coaching other students became a passion of mine while I was in college, and this is where I started my journey as an academic coach. I realized early on that students need someone who is more than just a tutor or an expert in their field. They need a friend, mentor, and teacher who understands what they are feeling. They need a coach who tailors their learning style to fit each student. My passion is to ignite the strength that every student has within them. I believe that each student has their own academic talents that are revealed when provided the right environment and coach.
