...and English as a Second Language (ESL). At Oberlin, I received training in the Organic World Languages method of teaching languages, which focuses on student production, and making meaningful language in context instead of memorizing.

This is harder in subjects like math, where there is only one right answer, but I still enjoy asking students questions as we puzzle through challenging questions and plan out approaches to word problems together. No matter the subject, I view myself as a partner to the student as they make their way toward mastery of the...

I'm a writer that believes deeply in the power of reading. A good writer is an excellent and dedicated reader. It's my goal to help more people to fall in love with reading and find their voice as a writer. This happens through learning to love to read - and not just the classics. I believe in helping individuals foster a relationship with literature, which in turn allows them to write at a high level.

One of my goals as a tutor for Varsity Tutors is to...

...for over 25 years, and SAT prep classes for four years, both remote and in-person. I adopted my daughter from Ethiopia when she was 7 years old, and she spoke no English.

I love working with students of all ages and abilities and will do...

Since I have taken several standardized tests, including the ISEE, the MCAS, the PSAT, the SAT, AP Literature, AP English, AP Vergil, AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics, the LSAT, the MPRE, and the Massachusetts Bar Exam, where applicable, I incorporate a lot of test taking strategies into my tutoring sessions.

I have worked in many workshop and one-on-one...
