Corina: Lyons tutor

Certified Tutor

In tutoring as opposed to teaching, it is important to not just communicate the information, but also to make sure that the student learns it. As a tutor, I work with the student's strengths and weaknesses to help him/her learn. I earned a Ph.D. in political science from Johns Hopkins University, where I also taught. Although I enjoyed teaching on the university level, I missed the engagement one develops in a more individualized setting like tutoring. I also earned a BA from Columbia University in Comparative Literature which required me to read, write and speak in French, German and Spanish. Finally, I excel at taking standardized tests and enjoy teaching others how to take them more effectively.
