Aleksandra: North Massapequa tutor

Certified Tutor

Hello! I am a recent graduate from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Arts in Government and a Minor in European Studies. I am very politically oriented with an interest in international relations, research, as well as education policy. For this reason, much of my professional and volunteer experience stems from mentorship and assistant teaching roles in formal and informal learning spaces. I have spent a considerable amount of time providing college access, reading, math, and writing support to high school students, but I also have experience working with K-5 and college students.

Out of all the subjects I have taught, I am most passionate about teaching reading/writing and college access. As a first-generation college student, my path to attending university was not straightforward, and as a result of everything I had to learn (and unlearn), I am determined to support students in setting and reaching their post-secondary goals. An integral part of my journey was building my confidence as a reader, writer, and, consequently, as a speaker. Leaning into my experience as a learner, I am excited to share my toolkit to help students build their own.
