Calculus Tutor • +64 Subjects
I am a graduate of Oberlin College and Wesleyan University and I am currently a PhD student at Harvard University. I received my BA in English, my BM in Jazz Studies, and my MA in Ethnomusicology. My PhD research is in West African music. I have many years of experience as a tutor, beginning as a writing tutor for a college writing center, then giving private music lessons, and working as a teaching assistant for undergraduate students in music and African studies courses. I tutor in many different areas, but my passion is in working with students in writing, literature, critical reading, music, and French. In working to prepare students for standardized tests, I can offer a wide variety of strategies for vocabulary, writing, and time management. As an educator, I am particularly interested in the transitions from high school to college, and from college into the professional world. Outside of teaching, I enjoy playing and listening to music, hiking, playing soccer, and spending time outdoors.

I'm comfortable tutoring on a number of subjects, I particularly enjoy teaching English, writing, and critical reading. I like working one on one with students, helping them to think through problems, formulate opinions, and articulate their thoughts. This involves working on vocabulary, grammar, and writing mechanics. These are invaluable skills, essential for writing essays and preparing for Standardized Tests, like the SAT.

I am a recent college graduate currently pursuing a career in publishing in New York City. My interest in tutoring and the publishing industry stem from the same source: I want to help instill in others the same love of learning I have felt throughout my life. Whether it's getting lost in a good book or feeling the thrill of excitement at finally solving a difficult math problem, I feel that learning should be fun and viewed as a challenge, not a chore. Throughout my academic career, I have been a well-rounded student, excelling in math as well as language and literature. I am a notoriously good test-taker, a skill developed from solid study habits that I hope to pass on to future students. For me, tutoring is my way of giving back to my community and paying forward the help I've gotten from teachers, mentors, and fellow students throughout my life.

I am well schooled in academic writing and reading comprehension; furthermore, I have honed my ability to write pointed, direct essays for both applications and classes. After studying French in high school, I went on to spend over six months in France working on archaeological excavations. As a previous educator for high school students, I am versed in different learning styles and can't wait to work with more. It sounds trite, but it's true--I love teaching, and consider it both a privilege and a real pleasure. I look forward to helping more students achieve their academic goals!

I am a life-long proponent of education and learning. I graduated from Princeton University with a B.A. in philosophy. After working for a few years, including in book publishing, I returned to school and completed my M.A. in history at the University of California, Berkeley. While there, I taught history and philosophy classes to undergraduates. I also taught Standardized Test Prep (SAT and GRE) for Summit Tutors and Kaplan.

I am a rising junior at Princeton University pursuing a Bachelors of Arts in Philosophy with a certificate in Statistics and Machine Learning. I am highly passionate about education: during the academic year, I serve as a volunteer tutor for the Petey Greene Program, which provides educational assistance to those incarcerated in New Jersey prisons; after graduation, I hope to work toward becoming a high school mathematics teacher. This summer, I am interning part-time at IntegrateNYC4me, a nonprofit that seeks to integrate New York schools. I believe that quality educational opportunities should be accessible to all, and I hope to dedicate my career toward realizing this vision!

I am a pre-Occupational Therapy student majoring in psychology with minors in neuroscience and art. I will be graduating with honors from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities in May, and I will begin Washington University School of Medicine's Doctorate of Occupational Therapy Program this Fall. My academic pursuits have made me confident in my abilities to tutor those pursing degrees in social sciences along with those pursuing careers in health care. Currently my favorite subject is neuroscience. I fell in love with it after I started college and I plan on specializing in neurorehabilitionation as an occupational therapist.

I'm a hiker, a reader, a giant nerd, and full of terrible jokes that will (shockingly) make tutoring fun.

I'm communicating and working with a pupil that I get a proper indication of how to work best with them. It's crucial to understand every student is different. There are always indications on how to handle/work with each student. For example, with a hostile student I would try to ease off and allow them to talk whilst making the material seem personal and easygoing. With a more outgoing and confident student, I would invite them to be challenged in our studies, as they usually work best with a challenge.

Frequently Asked Questions
A tutor can guide you through the process of moving from a general topic to a specific, arguable claim. They'll help you identify what position you're actually defending, refine vague statements into precise arguments, and ensure your thesis is complex enough for an 11th-grade essay. Through targeted feedback and revision cycles, tutors help you understand that a strong thesis isn't just a topic—it's a debatable claim that your entire essay supports.
Tutors work with you to map out essay structure before you write, using techniques like outlining body paragraphs around specific evidence and topic sentences that directly support your thesis. They help you identify logical progression—how each paragraph builds on the previous one—and spot gaps where your argument breaks down. Many students benefit from learning how to reverse-outline their own drafts to see if their organization actually matches their intended argument.
This is one of the biggest shifts in 11th-grade writing. A tutor helps you learn to analyze *how* an author creates meaning through technique—examining word choice, imagery, structure, and tone rather than just describing what happens. They teach you to connect specific textual evidence to larger themes and to ask analytical questions like "Why did the author choose this word?" or "What effect does this structure create?" instead of "What happened next?"
In a tutoring setting, you get detailed, individualized feedback on your specific writing patterns and challenges—whether that's weak transitions, underdeveloped arguments, or unclear voice. Rather than generic comments, a tutor identifies your particular growth areas and works with you through multiple revision cycles, showing you how to strengthen weak sections and explaining the reasoning behind suggestions. This ongoing dialogue helps you internalize writing principles rather than just fixing one essay.
Tutors help you diagnose what's actually blocking you—whether it's unclear thinking about your argument, perfectionism about the opening, or uncertainty about what evidence to use. They use strategies like talking through your ideas aloud, freewriting without judgment, or working backward from your thesis to generate supporting points. Many students find that working through ideas with a tutor before writing helps them move past the blank-page paralysis.
A tutor can teach you MLA or APA formatting rules and, more importantly, help you understand *why* citations matter—they're about giving credit and allowing readers to verify your sources. Rather than memorizing comma placement, you'll learn the logic behind citation format, practice integrating quotes smoothly into your sentences, and understand how to introduce sources effectively. Tutors catch common mistakes like improper in-text citations or incomplete works-cited entries before they affect your grade.
11th-grade writing asks you to balance formal academic conventions with authentic voice—and that's tricky. A tutor helps you understand that voice isn't about being casual; it's about word choice, sentence rhythm, and perspective that reflect your thinking. They show you how strong writers vary sentence structure, choose precise vocabulary, and maintain consistency in tone while still meeting essay requirements. Through revision, you learn where you can be more distinctive without sacrificing clarity or credibility.
Many 11th graders include good evidence but don't explain how it connects to their thesis—the evidence just sits there. A tutor teaches you to analyze your evidence by asking: "Does this actually prove my point?" and "What's the logical connection?" They help you develop the skill of explaining evidence thoroughly, moving beyond summary to show readers exactly why this quote or fact matters to your argument. This analysis between evidence and claim is what transforms adequate essays into strong ones.
