As someone who is pursuing a Master's degree in therapy, I also have an educational background in philosophy that equips me to effectively tutor students in key philosophical topics. I earned my BA in... Philosophy, through which I gained an in-depth understanding of prominent philosophical ideas, ethical theories, and influential historical philosophers that have shaped Western thought over millennia. Through my undergraduate coursework, I became well-versed in areas such as logic, epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and political philosophy. I studied the foundational writings of philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, Mill, and Nietzsche. This robust educational grounding in philosophical principles allows me to break down complex concepts for students and help make abstract ideas tangible. Additionally, I have hands-on experience tutoring philosophy students during my undergraduate years. Through group tutorials and one-on-one sessions, I assisted students in grasping challenging philosophical texts, developing reasoned arguments, and refining their writing and analytical abilities. In my current Master’s program in therapy, philosophical issues around ethics, human nature, and the mind-body problem continue to inform my training. I can tie philosophical ideas into practical contexts for students seeking to understand the real-world relevance of philosophical inquiry. My educational background coupled with tutoring experience make me well-qualified to serve students effectively as a philosophy tutor. I am passionate about unpacking philosophical ideas that can profoundly shape how one views and exists in the world. My competence and enthusiasm for philosophy distinguish me as a tutor who can optimize students’ learning.read more

I currently reside in Pennsylvania as I pursue my Master's degree in therapy, though I originally hail from Chicago. When I'm not immersed in graduate studies, you can often find me reading the latest... psychological thriller, catching up on episodes of Abbott Elementary, or relaxing with a paint-by-numbers kit. As someone who has had to work hard on my academic and career journey, I find great meaning in tutoring as an opportunity to help guide others on their own paths. What I most enjoy is those “lightbulb” moments when a student's eyes light up because suddenly the dots connect. I prioritize understanding each student's strengths and areas for growth so I can meet them where they're at and help unpack concepts through a collaborative, Socratic approach. My goal is not to simply give answers, but to provoke students' critical and independent thinking. My Mexican and Polish upbringing, my experiences navigating new environments and complex systems to attain my goals...these aspects shape me into a tutor who grasps the value of tenacity alongside compassion. I’m direct and won’t shy away from asking the bold questions to push your thinking. Because above all, I tutoring because I find purpose in helping to lift up emerging minds, especially those from underserved backgrounds who possess so much untapped potential. I want to guide students not just to do well academically but to thrive in pursuing their passions. At the heart of my work is the belief that with the right support, anyone can cultivate their skills meaningfully. That's what makes me who I am as a tutor.read more
