Ayana: Chelsea tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a junior at Harvard College studying the History of Science. I enjoy helping students overcome their academic frustrations and working towards comfort in their toughest subjects. I know the feeling of pride that comes with understanding complicated material! My passion for tutoring has led me to multiple previous academic coaching positions. I have a strong background in guiding high schoolers though their experiences, from helping them succeed in their classes to preparing them for the SAT to helping them apply to college. I have most recently started private individual tutoring sessions with high schoolers in Algebra and English. In the summer of 2019, I coached secondary school students at the prestigious Maru-a-Pula private school in Gaborone, Botswana, on the college admissions process and SAT preparation. I also have experience teaching younger students; my first teaching role was as an instructor at a gymnastics summer camp, where I taught young campers elementary school curricula, making my own lessons for each grade level. My years of practice have made me confident in my ability to work with many different ages of students and adapt to each student's individual learning and communication style. Outside of tutoring, I love staying active I am a member of my school's cheerleading team and I enjoy hiking and skiing.
