Certified Tutor

As a dedicated educator with a Bachelor's degree in International Studies and German from Bryn Mawr College, I have over five years of tutoring experience, specializing in English, German, and Social Sciences. My approach to teaching is centered on flexibility; I strive to tailor each lesson to meet my students' unique needs, ensuring they grasp concepts thoroughly. I am particularly passionate about writing instruction, where I emphasize clarity, organization, and grammatical precision to help students enhance their essays and arguments. Additionally, my experience as a German teaching assistant allows me to foster a conversational and immersive language-learning environment. I believe that every student can become a passionate learner, and I am committed to helping them achieve their academic goals while instilling a love for learning.
