Olivia: Merrillville tutor

Certified Tutor

I graduated magna cum laude with distinction in my major from Yale University, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (Intensive). In the fall, I will be pursuing an MPhil in Criminology at the University of Cambridge through the Paul Mellon Fellowship. I am most passionate about college essay writing, public speaking, and English. I've had the opportunity to work as a reporter for the Yale Daily News, serve in Yale's student government, and speak at TEDxYale. These experiences deepened both my love for spreading ideas and my desire to help others develop their own voice. As a high school senior, I was accepted into multiple Ivy League universities, and I now love helping students navigate the college admissions process with confidence. I've mentored students through Model United Nations and coached peers in academic writing. In my experience helping students prepare for college essays and interviews, I've found that every student has a powerful story to tell: it's just about helping them find the best way to tell it. In my spare time, I enjoy reading memoirs, writing short essays, and exploring interdisciplinary questions in justice and public policy.
