As a product of the NYC independent school system myself, I understand the unique pressures students are under in New York City. I have an MA from Oxford University in English Literature and a BA from Barnard College of Columbia University. I've been tutoring 6th Form (High School) students in Oxford, UK for the past year in several English curricula. Currently, I tutor English (American, British, Global), the SAT and GRE. I emphasize close reading techniques, the early introduction of different strands of literary criticism, time management, and grammar and essay structure.

Oxford dissertation (2011): The Discoursing Soul: Dialogue in George Herbert’s The Temple

Barnard thesis (2009): That Harmony So Inharmonious: Reframing the Classical Elements from Ovid’s Metamorphoses to Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale
