I specialize in reading and writing tutoring and test prep for students Kindergarten - college level. I have a MA in Global Studies from the University of California Berkeley, and a BA in Ethnicity, Race and Migration from Yale University. While in graduate school, I facilitated classroom discussions, which involved lesson planning, writing short response papers, and critiquing my classmates' responses. While working for a Professor at Yale Law School on my honors thesis, I learned key writing and editing strategies, such as reverse outlining. My professors have empowered me to approach writing with intention and clarity, and I bring this deep knowledge to my tutoring practice.My academic experience has given me the skills to help students on their homework, including longer term papers and thesis writing, and prepare students for the COMPASS Reading and Writing Comprehensions, ISEE, ACT and SAT reading and writing sections, and the GRE verbal section. My teaching methods are adaptable and tailored to the learning styles of each student. Some of my methods are learning games, practice problems, memorization, learning by example, and reverse teaching. In my tutoring practice, I value patience, creative learning, and short and long-term goal setting. With older students, I can offer support and guidance during the research, writing, and editing processes. If relevant, I will give students homework between sessions to practice vocabulary, increase understanding of certain concepts, and/or become familiar with test materials. The tutoring relationship is like a coaching relationship; I will give students the skills they need to be the best readers and writers possible, and I will ultimately help students take responsibility of their own learning. I look forward to connecting with you!

I am interested in tutoring High School and/or College students in writing and literature-related subjects. As a trained and certified teacher with over 10 years of online teaching experience at the college level Iam looking forward to this opportunity, as well as the opportunity to help students improve their standardized test scores as part of the college and graduate school application process.

As a tutor, my goal is to enable kids to become stellar students by demystifying the writing process. From mastering basic study skills to writing a killer college application essay, I want students to feel confident with their ability to communicate ideas effectively. My experience as a tutor, mentor and editor has provided me with the opportunity to help a variety of students, from kindergarteners just learning to read, to high school seniors writing the essays that will gain them access to top-tier universities. In my years as a teacher's assistant for college freshmen, a workshop teacher at 826 Chicago and a literacy tutor with at-risk kids in a low-income elementary school in Ohio, I have turned students who professed to hate Reading and Writing into confident and creative writers. I have also helped students excel in History, Mathematics and particularly enjoy helping students exceed their own scoring expectations on the SAT.As a graduate of the Oberlin College Creative Writing Program, I believe that every writing assignment, from historical essays to Japanese poetry to science term papers, has the possibility to enthrall and fascinate. I believe that all writing is creative writing, and that in every assignment can be approached with equal measures of enthusiasm and diligence. I am an excellent teacher of the building blocks of language, including Phonics and Grammar. As Joan Didion once said, "Grammar is a piano I play by ear." I have helped dozens of students view grammar not as a stifling set of rules but instead, a toolbox for self-expression.I look forward to working with you soon!

I am a University of Miami alumna, and graduated summa cum laude in 2012 with a B.A. in English Literature and a minor in History. During my time at the University of Miami, I worked as a tutor for the University’s Athletic Academic Services, where I tutored student athletes in a variety of subjects, and helped them devise study schedules that maximized their academic success. Since then, I have worked as a full-time tutor in a Massachusetts high school, where I provided focused Math instruction to a personal caseload of 12 ninth and tenth graders, and also as a Spanish language tutor for adults and college-aged students in Miami. Many of the students I have worked with are English language learners, and I am comfortable tutoring in both English and Spanish.While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I most enjoy tutoring Literature, Composition and language. I am an enthusiastic reader myself, and also enjoy trying out new DIY projects and going on meandering bike rides in my spare time.

I graduated with a degree in Film & Comparative Literature from Oberlin College in Ohio. Over the past six years I've made dozens of short films and video art pieces, and freelanced on independent documentary projects. I have worked on television shows for Major League Baseball Productions, produced content for activist groups, and programmed for UnionDocs, a microcinema in New York. More recently, I've coordinated and facilitated retreats for emerging adults, focusing on personal growth skills and political education. I tutor a broad range of subjects, but I'm most passionate about English, Literature, and History. I've recently (and successfully) tutored myself in test preparation skills, so I am also very prepared to tutor test-prep. In my experience as a tutor, I have a great track record helping students develop their interest in reading anything! I have a deep belief that education is about practice, and that by practicing anything enough, any student can improve.

I have been tutoring students of all ages since my junior year of high school, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to continue to do so. I feel comfortable tutoring an array of subjects, particularly the various levels of psychology, English, German, and writing, but algebra and statistics have wormed their way into my heart over the years!My particular style of tutoring is unique, most likely to due to my sense of humor. Even someone's least favorite subject does not have to be a bore, and I quite enjoy taking some of the pressure off by being lighthearted and enthusiastic. As long as the student feels comfortable with the progress he or she is making, that's all that matters. I will never define what is successful for my students, I always adhere to how they define their own success. As far as I'm concerned, we're a team, and I'm happy to do what it takes to help them meet their goals.As a graduate of Sewickley Academy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Heidelberg University in Tiffin, Ohio, I currently possess a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. I am currently attending Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore in pursuit of a Masters of Science degree in Clinical Psychology, where I am conducting original research in the areas of parental psychological control and somatic symptoms in young adults. Needless to say, this means there is quite a lot of psychology in my life, so while I am happy to assist others with their psychology classes, tutoring gives me a chance to take a break from it all and indulge myself in the other subjects I love!Outside of what must sound like an incredibly academic life, I do find time to entertain myself. I love going to museums and am definitely interested in some recommendations for the must-see museums in Baltimore. I'm a huge theatre lover, and I sometimes dabble in acting when I have time. I absolutely love doing voices and accents when I tell stories. If laser-pointering with my cat were an Olympic sport, I would certainly qualify. I'm an admirer of film and television as art forms, which is a fancy way of saying I like great movies and TV shows. Eating something delicious while reading a good book is my preferred method of relaxation, although it makes me wish I had more than two hands and two eyes. That's me in a nutshell!

After graduating Magna Cum Laude from Colby College in 2007 with a degree in French Language and International Relations, I jumped on a plane to Uganda in pursuit of a less conventional office. In the years since I have lived, worked, traveled and taught on rivers and in classrooms around world.As a teacher at New River Academy from 2010-11 and World Class Academy from 2011-14 I introduced students to the world of English Literature inside the classroom and mentored them through challenges and intricacies of living and traveling with a small group abroad, encouraging them to find ways to pursue their passions. My time with NRA and WCA furthered my belief in the value of experiential learning, and my view that education should be holistic and foster creative thinking. It is one of the reasons I am most enjoy tutoring, as it provides the ability to work one on one and to shape education to the needs and interests of the student.While I tutor a broad range of subjects, from Spanish to test prep, it is literature and writing that I am most passionate about as I feel they provide individuals the opportunity to connect with the world around them and give shape and voice to their experiences and opinions.Outside of education, I pursue whitewater kayaking competitively, and was a member of the US freestyle team this past year. When not tutoring or in a kayak, I can usually be found outside, running, surfing, hoola-hooping, doing yoga, or reading in a hammock.

I tutor students in reading (decoding); analyzing and comprehending English Literature; improving their grammar; and test preparation. I am passionate about helping students achieve their goals. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun studying the sample questions and understanding how to choose the correct answer.
