I'm especially passionate about helping with English, college application essays, and SAT Writing. I remember firsthand how challenging the college application process can be, so I find it fulfilling to help students discern their own narratives and share techniques to help them succeed. As a 10-time tournament champion in Impromptu speaking, I also love coaching students in public speech and helping them build their confidence!

In addition to that, I have always had the passion for teaching and mentoring people.

I am currently doing cancer research at the Mount Sinai Medical Center. As a student I was never been able to decide on a favorite subject because I felt anything I studied in school could be fun and much easier if approached with the right attitude.

My goal as a tutor is to help students gain confidence and to think of creative approaches to subj...More
