Linford

Yale University

I am a committed mentor and scholar passionate about enabling students to meet and exceed their learning goals. With Masters degrees from Northwestern and Yale, I have experience tutoring students from diverse backgrounds in Israel/Palestine and across the United States. My favorite subjects to tutor include any topic in Humanities, Social Studies, and Language Arts, especially History, Geography, Study Skills, and German. I also love to offer any kind of support/advising on the college application journey. I get satisfaction from seeing students connect deeply with themselves and their subjects while having fun in the process. In my free time I enjoy painting, reading, watching TV, and learning new languages.
