Juliet: Essex County tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of the Dual bachelor's program between Sciences Po (Paris) and Columbia University (New York) where I earned a bachelor's degree in Politics and Government, and one in Evolutionary Biology of the Human Species (i.e., biological anthropology). Since my freshman year of high school, I have tutored fellow students and professionals in a variety of subjects. I began tutoring students in Spanish and French, and continued with this work throughout high school. I also worked twice/week in the Spanish help center at my high school, helping groups of students with their Spanish homework. In college, I worked as a tutor on the online English tutoring platform called Ringle. There, I helped students and professionals develop their English skills. Through the French association Afev, I worked as a mentor for a young boy, helping him learn how to read and write basic words in order for him to pass the required qualifications to get into "cours preparatoire" (first grade). This experience began during the Covid-19 lockdown, and allowed me to learn about how to work with young students when learning resources were limited. Finally, towards the end of college I worked as a teaching assistant for a large undergraduate class (Human Origins and Evolution). In addition to grading and other administrative tasks, I organized and lead osteology labs and discussion sections once a week, composed of 30 students. Throughout my experience as a student, I have been lucky to have several wonderful teachers who helped me develop my interests and motivated me to learn more. These amazing educators have shown me just how important education really is, and what a joy it can be when one really begins taking pleasure in learning. I try to make learning fun and enjoyable for my students, giving them techniques and alternative learning methods to continue to improve.
