...a career as an actor, but am thrilled to continue to flex my intellectual side and share my passion for learning with the next generation. In college, I studied Cognitive Science, not so much as a fallback career, but because I am fascinated by the subject. I succeeded in getting into Northwestern without the aid of any academic tutors or test prep classes. As such, I am confident in my standardized test-taking abilities, and happy...

I am a graduate of Phillips Academy and Columbia University. I received my bachelor's degree in Political Science specializing in International Relations and Women's and Gender.

Outside of tutoring, I spend my time traveling and solving my Rubik's cube.

...taught introductory chemistry lab for science majors at Grand Valley State University. After some self reflection I decided medical school was not the path I wanted to take and decided instead to move to New York City to pursue my other passion of performing on stage.

I'm a strong advocate for creating individualized educational plans that are suited to best meet each student's needs. As a child, I...

...and standardized test prep, no two winning strategies are ever exactly alike. Because every student learns in their own unique way, my teaching style is designed to pinpoint each student's individual strengths and weaknesses to develop a customized tutoring experience.

I always strive to be engaging and make my lessons as fun and informative...

I hope that I can help...

...wide variety of subjects. There is no confusion too small or problem too complicated that I cannot help with if not solve. I am exceptionally dedicated to my students; ensuring that they not simply memorize concepts or regurgitate facts but truly understand the material. I ask them to defend their answers which teaches them that the correct response is often less important than the reasoning used to reach said response. I honestly believe that anyone...

...for creating and encouraging interest in specific topics and in learning itself. While I agree that the goal of teaching is to help someone learn a certain topic, the greatest achievement in teaching I have experienced is giving someone the ability to reason, and the drive and ability to begin teaching themselves. I enjoy teaching certain topics because of their power to bring this about, including languages, mathematics, and (of course) philosophy. All of these...

I have been working in education, primarily in tutoring and afterschool programs, for the majority of my career, and there are few experiences I enjoy more than building relationships with students and watching them grow and develop as people and scholars.

...with a degree in Public Policy, but I my fields of study ranged from biology to organic chemistry to British literature. I'm a hardworking, compassionate, and patient individual who has been tutoring since high school and helping my little sister with her homework long before.

Hello! I am studying political science and statistics, and I will be working in finance after graduation. I also have strengths in Spanish (I studied abroad in Spain), standardized tests, and test taking and organization skills. In my free time I love to run, spend time with friends, and travel.

...those children came up with were simultaneously moving, insightful, wacky, and hilarious in a way that the best adult writers could only hope for. The best part of it all was that it was the writers themselves, not me, who insisted we get up on stage and act out their words for the small audience. There is nothing more gratifying me than being along for the ride while kids create and discover the person they're...

Students can often be hesitant to admit they are unsure of concepts that were taught in previous years because they feel they are expected to know them. However, without a proper understanding of the simple facets of a subject, the more complicated features can never be truly internalized. I have always enjoyed explaining concepts to other people, and I find it works best when I relate the...
