About
Hi!
My name is Victoria, and I am a current Senior at Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore. I am majoring in Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, with a minor in English. I love being a student, and ... I will graduate with 3 honors distinctions- Speech Pathology, English, and Theater. I am passionate about writing, literary studies, American History, and Speech Pathology! I also have 8 years of experience working within the disability community, working with many different backgrounds and abilities.
My goal and philosophy in regard to tutoring are to help you succeed to the best of your abilities. I understand school can sometimes be too fast-paced for a lesson you need extra time on, so I am here to supplement the learning time and hopefully allow you to see these concepts in a new way!
In addition, I am passionate about the college search and application process, so hopefully, I can be of help to you if that is what you need!
I hope to bring to every session an open mind and a positive attitude. I am never here to judge you, and I want to be a safe space to discuss our struggles!read more
