I am originally from Evanston, Illinois. I received my B.A. in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. I continued to pursue my Science career in New York, where I worked in a laboratory at Columbia University Medical Center. While working, I applied to graduate school and entered in Fall of 2013. I am currently earning my PhD at New York University in Molecular Biophysics. I hope to one day apply my crystallography skills to advance the area of novel drug design. In my free time I enjoy traveling, running and playing lacrosse.

I am a former professor of History and Literature at Earlham College, a small liberal arts school in the Midwest. I earned a dual PhD in Comparative Literature and Germanic Studies from IU Bloomington and a BA (summa cum laude) in English from NYU. Over the past twelve years I have lived, studied, and taught all over the world, including a year as an English instructor at the University of Paris Nanterre and a year as a postdoc research fellow at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. I consider teaching to be one of the great passions in my life and I have had the privilege to work with students from almost every conceivable background. Although I have taught large seminars and presented lectures to audiences in the US and abroad, I find that the most rewarding and enjoyable teaching experiences are those that are one-on-one. My expertise is in Philosophy, Literature, and European History, but my interests extend to languages (French, German, Hebrew, and Latin) and to the study of religion. Since I first caught what a former professor of mine called the "reading bug" back in college, I have come to discover a simple truth: literature can reinvent the world. So when I am not reading, or hiking with my dog, or helping my wife out at the barn, I spend my time writing, trying to create a book of my own.

Reflecting on my educational experiences, I appreciate the immeasurable impact that my former teachers and professors have contributed to my academic success. As a recent graduate, I realize the skills and knowledge acquired in their classrooms have been instrumental in creating opportunities for my academic, personal, and career advancement. Therefore, as a tutor, I hope to inspire the same level of confidence that will enable my students to think critically and bestow upon them the knowledge, motivation, and strategies needed to succeed in their academic endeavors.As an experienced student who has navigated across the spectrum of academia, I know how stressful exam preparation / grade performance can be for ambitious students. With my proven method of test preparation that I used for the SAT, GRE, and GMAT, I can help students plan and execute a strategy that will improve their scores. Similarly, from achieving 700 on the SAT Math to writing a 90 page graduate dissertation, I possess a range of math/language skills that I can pass to my students so that they can surpass their peers and rise to the top of the class.Education:Pittsburgh Central Catholic High School, 2005Pennsylvania State University, 2010BS Supply Chain Management, Smeal College of Business (#5 US News and World Report, Undergraduate Rankings By Major)Stanley Druckenmiller Scholarship RecipientNew York University, 2013 (Accelerated 1 Year Program)MA Cinema Studies, Tisch School of the Arts (#2 USA Today, Graduate Rankings by Major)University of Pittsburgh, 2014 (Accelerated 1 Year Program)MBA, Katz Graduate School of Business (#23 Financial Times, MBA Rankings by Public Institution)May M.

I am currently a graduate student at NYU pursuing my Master's degree in Psychology. Before moving to New York, I completed my undergraduate degree at Stevenson University in Baltimore. During this time, I worked as a peer tutor for three and a half years, covering subjects such as math, writing skills, and psychology. While at Stevenson I also helped to pilot a program that worked with at risk students to strengthen their study skills and motivation.

I have been an educator for almost 30 years and have worked with children of all ages from kindergarten all the way to college and beyond. As a classroom teacher, I taught both elementary and high school. I am currently a high school counselor and the combination of all of my experience gives me a unique window into the world of education and college entrance. My experience, combined with my doctoral degree with a focus on learning disabilities, allows me a varied perspective while working with children. I work with the whole child and pride myself ion being able to meet each of my students where they are while pushing them to achieve more than they ever thought possible. As a mother of two children with dyslexia, I have seen first hand, the frustration and struggles that accompany learning challenges and I am here to help. In addition to my experience in education, I have also been writing for over 30 years and have had articles and poems published in multiple magazines and journals and have co-authored several medical journal articles related to food allergy and bullying and have also published two books about counseling and learning disabilities through Routledge Press.

I am a pre-medical undergraduate at New York University studying Global Public Health with a concentration in Chemistry. I have been passionate about education since high school and have been teaching, tutoring, and mentoring students from grades 6-12 and college in a variety of subjects since! I specialize in mathematics and science tutoring as well as standardized exam preparation. In the past, I have helped students achieve significant improvements and success on the SAT, SHSAT, Regents and other exams!I truly believe education is a mutual learning and teaching opportunity and enjoy helping my students achieve a thorough understanding (those "Aha!" moments) and appreciation of whatever they choose to study! In the future, I seek to pursue clinical and pedagogical medicine and enjoy biking, skateboarding, dancing, and philosophizing in my spare time.

In 2012, I graduated from New York University where I studied Dance and Psychology. After graduating, I performed internationally with a modern dance company. There I had the pleasure of teaching dance to a large range of ages and abilities. My experiences have varied from teaching Taiwanese school children to conducting workshops at Brown University. Throughout my education, I tutored students in a variety of academic disciplines. I am most passionate about psychology, statistics, and writing, and also enjoy helping students learn how to be better test takers. In my experience, preparing for Standardized Tests such as the SAT and ACT can be empowering. By ensuring that students master both the content and format of the test, they will be able to walk in on test day feeling calm and confident. My endeavors, domestic and abroad, have taught me to identify how a student best learns and help them approach conceptual roadblocks with creativity. I strongly believe in the importance of education. I consider it to be not only necessary to one's success, but also something that can be fun and extremely rewarding. When I'm not dancing or teaching, I love to read, visit museums, practice yoga, and watch independent films.

As a current Psychology major at New York University heavily immersed in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy, I am very passionate about helping students achieve their respective goals through individualized support, care, and instruction.I am offering tutoring in AP French Language and Culture, Conversational French, Elementary Ready & Writing, English, French I, II, III & 4, High School English, High School Level American Literature, High School Writing, IB Theater, Middle School Reading Comprehension, and Middle School Writing.My favorite subject to tutor would probably be French. I grew up in a bilingual household, so I really enjoy showing other people how to access French in an accessible, fun way.Outside of academia, I really enjoy theater, horseback riding, traveling, going out to eat, and going out to the dog park with my baby goldendoodle Milo!

As a teacher, I am passionate about supporting students' critical thinking and communication skills. I strive to help students discover and refine their unique, writerly voices, and communicate their ideas more clearly and effectively. In working with students, I try to meet them where they are at in their learning journey and encourage their growth by offering new ideas and ways of thinking about topics. My primary strength is in formal, academic writing: I was published twice as an undergraduate, and I continue to work toward publications in my graduate career. However, I'm able to adjust to whatever writing style fits the needs of the project at hand.

I graduated from NYU's Steinhardt School of Education with my dual Masters degrees in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. I am also a certified teacher for birth through 2nd grade and have my certification in Students with Disabilities. I previously attended Pomona College where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English. I have taught for two years in a preschool prior to enrolling at NYU. I am passionate about providing each child I encounter with a lifelong love of learning and curiosity. I am able to tutor all aspects of ELA in Elementary School, including reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar, phonics, decoding, comprehension and more, which are my favorite to teach or tutor. In addition, I am very proficient and eager to help with all aspects of English and essay writing or editing from elementary school through college, including SAT English and College Application Essays. I love to make tutoring sessions fun with games that accomplish goals rather than rote memorization or school-like lessons and homework. I meet students where they are in their work and in terms of their interests so that they are included in the work we do together. Outside of tutoring, I love reading, yoga, psychoanalysis and my two cats.

I am a lifelong learner of the Chinese language. I am passionate about this language, and I hope to pass my passion on to my students. I have various experiences that make me an excellent tutor. As a high school student at Riverdale Country School, I studied abroad in Beijing during my junior year through School Year Abroad (SYA). During my junior year of college, I studied in Shanghai through NYU Shanghai. I have also participated in the Middlebury College Chinese School twice at the highest level where I could only communicate in Chinese for eight weeks.I have Chinese tutoring experiences through another organization similar to Varsity Tutors as well as by meeting with students with whom I have personal connections. I have achieved near-native fluency in Mandarin Chinese, and have taught my tutees various skills that I have learned to learn the language effectively.Currently, I am studying to receive an English-teaching certificate at Columbia University while teaching English to Chinese immigrants in Chinatown using my Mandarin skills. Previously, I have held numerous positions in which I have used my Mandarin skills, including as a case manager at a community health center that serves Chinese immigrants in Flushing, Queens.Learning Chinese can seem extremely difficult and almost impossible at some times. As a learner of the language for 12 years, I know exactly how to overcome these obstacles which I will be able to teach you.
