...am a biology major and neuroscience minor. Science has been my passion from a young age. I like tutoring because I sincerely enjoy helping others and being able to impart my knowledge and experience. Along with being strong in my curricular classes, I have experience helping and tutoring younger students in various subjects and test prep. As a patient and encouraging teacher, I am adept at helping others reach their educational goals.... My teaching philosophy is "work hard, play hard." It may sound childish, but I believe the brain requires balance in everything, including activities. With a strong work ethic, along with support and freedom, the tutor and student will go far.

I graduated this past spring from Yale University with a Bachelor's degree in English Language and Literature (with a nonfiction writing concentration thesis on architecture and memory). I bring five years of tutoring experience as a Yale Writing Partner, assisting college students with their academic papers, grad school applications, and anything else that needs to be written clearly and effectively. I live in Brooklyn and work as a museum educator at The Frick Collection.... The first session is all about meeting the student -- learning what motivates him or her, and beginning to determine how he or she works best. We work through a variety of preliminary exercises in the subject, each one catered to a different learning style. The emphasis during this first, crucial meeting is to establish trust and cooperation with the student -- and to make the work enjoyable.
