Breanna: Independence tutor
Certified Tutor
I am a junior at Cornell University, studying political science while completing triple minors in history, law and society, and business. As a student ambassador and peer advisor at Cornell, I have several years of experience guiding students through the college admissions process and helping them transition into college life. I meet with students both in person and over Zoom to discuss the Common App and supplemental essays. As an Ivy League student myself, and a former participant in the Harvard Pre-College Summer Program during high school, I am keenly aware of the stress that students face when navigating the college application process and eager to help as many students achieve their goals and live out their dreams. Though I specialize in college applications, helping students craft their essays to showcase their unique qualities, I tutor a variety of other subjects. These include the U.S. government and legal systems, and European, American, and medieval history. I also have expertise in the vanishing art of cursive handwriting and can offer guidance in this specialized skill. Beyond academics, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, watching college hockey, reading especially Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes and watching films.
