...learn in different ways, and sitting in a classroom isn't always going to allow for optimal learning conditions. That's where I come in. By tutoring, myself and others are able to directly work with individuals until comprehension, understanding, and eureka moments abound. I am personally most interested in languages, math, history, literature, music, all forms of art, scientific investigation of the universe, and games which allow for a creative and competitive outlet. Let's learn something...

...and engaged in the material. Tutoring is about working together so that he/she can solve it, not me giving the student the answers. Many times students know so much more than they realize, and showing that to them is always the first thing I try to accomplish. I am about pinpointing the problem and making small changes to have the most impact. In my spare time (when I have any :)) I enjoy water sports....

...the sun! In my spare time, I enjoy reading (especially mystery novels), pretending I'm a chef, and meditating. I have extensive experience tutoring family and friends at the middle school, high school, and college level in just about every topic, especially math and science courses. As I progressed through law school, my reading and writing skills improved significantly and I've picked up many tricks and tips I wish I could have used in lower school....

...my love for learning to this day. I desire to provide that feeling for children and leave every heart & mind I touch with a continued love for learning and the self-confidence to work through educational hurdles. Grasping new concepts isn't just about learning the task at hand, but also feeling capable of stepping out of one's comfort zone and having the mentality that "I can accomplish what I want and work for."

...skills, and achieve their academic and professional goals. The daughter of under-educated parents, as well as a world-traveler, I am especially committed to supporting first-generation college students, those for whom English is a second language, and working adults as they navigate the challenges of higher ed. Nevertheless, I have taught and mentored graduate students at Harvard and talented undergrads in a variety of disciplines and welcome helping with theses. In addition to teaching, I have...

...students! I first started teaching and tutoring nearly 20 years ago, with elementary and middle school students, in reading, phonics, comprehension, and writing.

I make my primary living as a book editor, but have always loved wearing my "teaching hat" and look forward to sharing my...

...I've tutored in writing professionally through my University , where I've had the opportunity to help students of all majors, ages, and experience levels in writing academic essays, personal narratives, journal critiques, and resumes alike.

...interests are broad. I view every personal endeavor as a fundamentally educational experience. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, literature, history, philosophy, and Spanish (which I learned to speak while studying philosophy in Argentina). I really enjoy working with students to sharpen written assignments. Even the best writers require editing! I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality...

...lower-level ISEE, elementary-level SSAT, and SAT Verbal. Since my current career dream is to teach English, I like tutoring the English-related topics the most.

My hobbies largely consist of reading and keeping...

...in 2015, I joined Elevated Concepts as their Director of Content. In 2013, I was encouraged by an academic mentor to apply to grad school a year earlier than I had planned... this meant that I needed to study for, and take, the GRE within 7 days! I kicked my study strategy into high gear and did very well on the exams. In fact, my scores were so good, I was selected for a full-ride...

...as an individual and customize the work to fit their needs and interests. Tutoring is much more than providing academic assistance to children, it is about building trusting relationships and instilling in them confidence to help them reach their full potential.
