About Ryan

My passion is helping people reach their full academic potential. For when you do well in school, you have more confidence in your daily life. I have witnessed firsthand, the struggles students face when not being able to perform well academically; one of those students was me. Throughout my elementary through high school years, I disliked school because I could not seem to make the good grades. My self esteem suffered tremendously, and my dislike for school grew greater, and greater. It was not until I attended community college, and volunteered to help tutor low income, and first generation students, that my love for education grew. This led to my taking a paid tutor position at both colleges I attended. For the past 9 years, I have tutored at the college level, in the areas of writing, grammar, study skills, speech, and communication. I have mentored low income, and first generation high school students enrolled in a program, and also led engagement, development, and leadership activities for them as well. I know what it takes to help students attain their academic goals. My background in Psychology, Sociology, and Counseling, helps me help the student.
