I have worked at summer camps (ages 3 to 14), worked as a teacher's aid in elementary, worked in elementary classrooms in my college practicums, and worked as a college writing tutor.

...and a writer by habit. I have over three years of teaching experience at private tutoring companies, UC Berkeley, UC Berkeley's Summer Bridge Program, and as a freelance political science/calculus tutor (there's more overlap than you think).

I'm fond of good food and...

I have experience tutoring students in different age groups, from elementary school to graduate school.

Having studied both Spanish and Japanese, I understand the difficulties of learning a new language and am excited to help...

...a range of academic disciplines and participate in weekly pedagogical training. Through this work, I have developed a passion for helping students identify and improve their communication skills. One of my favorite parts of tutoring is when I am able to gain insight into the connections between creative and academic writing. I believe that effective storytelling is a central part of all good writing, so I try to help my students recognize both the story...

The subjects I enjoy teaching most are test prep, essay writing, and literary analysisperfect for any junior or senior preparing for college....

...mathematics, chemistry, biology, or philosophy. I believe that a passion for learning is every child's right and that with a more enthralling way of teaching it is possible to stir that passion even in children who were previously completely uninterested. This goal does not require some magic bullet but an attentive teacher willing to adjust the lesson to the mind of the student and their interests and needs. I believe that I have just the...

As a recent graduate of SUNY Oswego with majors in English and Creative Writing, I have studied various novels for all age ranges and believe some wisdom can be gained from most stories, if you dig deep enough.

...to better accomplish these steps. Perhaps your student's teacher has been too busy to really get to know him or her, or perhaps their personalities simply clash, which makes the learning process much more difficult for your child. This could have even led them to build barriers between themselves and learning. I can break down those barriers, discover your child's strengths and use those to help them conquer their difficulties. I'm very good at building...

As an Ivy League graduate, I know what it takes to succeed in a highly competitive academic environment and can help you succeed as well!

...student the unique attention they need. In a one-on-one environment it is possible, and thus, I believe, imperative to zero in on each student's individual learning style, whether it be visual, aural, verbal, etc., and teach in the manner that the student responds to best. The student may not know at the beginning of our tutoring sessions what kind of learner they are, but after we have figured it out together they will have gained...

...a teacher can mean in a child's life. Other people predicted a teaching career for me as early as high school, and I knew I wanted to work with young people, but I had to thrash around for years trying other disciplines before I could see the obvious. I was a perpetual student for a long time, directionless and underperforming because I had no goals. Once I got in front of a classroom, though, I...

...Bard College's Written Arts program, where I studied fiction under some of the most efficient and poetic writers in the academic world. These professors taught me how to channel my enthusiasm for writing into a style of engaged communal learning that aids everyone involved. I participated in many writing workshops (and started one of my own during the pandemic) where I learned that generosity of knowledge and enthusiasm is the greatest gift that one person...
