...all ages in English and I taught English conversation to French high school students. Then I joined Teach for America and moved back to the states, where I've taught ancient history to 5th graders for the last two years.

I was granted awards to pursue further research in Israel, including awards from the prestigious Schusterman Foundation, and...

...times a week, and when you and your tutor can really understand each other's brains. That's why I am substantially lowering my prices and taking on fewer clients to meet regularly with me throughout the full course of their class or Test Prep cycle. I love getting to know people personally, seeing their faces light up when they slip into a groove, and growing their confidence with each lesson. I am certain that we will...

I'm dedicated to environmental conservation and climate change advocacy-- hiking and canoeing are two of my favorite ways to spend free...

I will tailor your tutoring experience to your personal needs, whether you need engagement or clarity. I will be sure to assist and focus on areas of improvement instead of just giving...

...in 2007. A few years later, I attended LaGuardia Community College and became a licensed veterinary technician, which means I am an animal nurse! My academic interests mostly relate to animals: zoology, evolutionary ecology, paleozoology, social evolution, and phylogenetics. I also love studying history, and will always assert that nothing happens in a historical vacuum. In my free time I do a lot of reading and a lot of writing, on topics ranging from politics...

...these wonderful years, my classroom consisted of dusty floors, a roof of acacia leaves, and the permeable walls of community centers. My fellow peers in learning have consisted of children, chiefs, literate and illiterate. After moving back to the States with my family in 2012, I taught in institutional schools for five years. I have been a high school English teacher for the past five years. From urban environments to traditional school classrooms, I am...

I love to help people, have tons of patience and look forward to meeting and helping you!

...time reading classics I haven't covered yet, or writing what I hope to be the next great American novel! Literature is how people share ideas and stories in fresh ways, and there are always new things to notice in even the oldest readings. And of course, writing is perhaps the most precise and sometimes personal way to communicate. The world needs good writers in all fields. I want to help students become the best readers...

...knowledge of that skill or concept. I have experience with teaching a diverse inclusion classroom in a local vocational high school. I taught several lessons on "The Crucible" and learned how to engage and motivate students, which will help me to be a better tutor because the more a student is engaged, the more motivated they will be to learn material and apply it to their own lives. I don't just teach these skills, I...
