"From listening to my grandmother’s folktales as a child, to reading for pleasure and learning as a student, to writing with clarity and insight in my professional career, I look for the story that lies at the heart of a written work. As a tutor, my goal is to not only provide the student with strategies and confidence to perform optimally on exams and college applications, but to imbue a lifelong motivation to engage in reading for meaning, communicate ideas effectively and write with clarity and impact. I begin by asking my student to write on a personal topic for ten minutes. Together, we read what the student has written in order that I may ...

"I graduated from Brown with a degree in History and took a wide variety of courses during my time as an undergraduate – from Russian literature to Buddhist philosophy to modern dance. I thoroughly enjoy the process of helping students improve their performance in the classroom and on standardized tests. My goal is to help students develop a passion, or at least an interest, in subject areas they may have learned to dislike or fear.
