Thank you for checking out my Varsity Tutor profile! I graduated with a BA in English from Vassar College and my area of focus is K-12 English language, literature and essay-writing, as well as elementary Latin. I am dedicated to helping students gain the skills they require to succeed in these areas AND develop a genuine fondness for them. To me, these notions are of equal importance.
Thanks!
Hannah."

"I was born and raised in Philadelphia. I have worked as a teacher/educator for 8 yeras and love seeing the expression of understanding on the face of a student.

I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, did graduate school at Pace University, and am currently a Ph.D."
