Hi, my name is Polly and I am a recent graduate in Biology/Chemistry, magna cum laude at CUNY. I am entering my 1L year in the fall.

This past January, I followed my passion and began an exciting journey to tutor full- time. Despite the challenges created by this current time, I am proud of my decision to follow my dreams and help students succeed.

...experience giving extra help to high school history students has also taught me a lot. Personally, I believe that a teacher should be the "guide on the side" rather than the "sage on a stage." A teacher should let students do the majority of the talking. I like to use questioning to steer students towards relevant details, themes, or narratives. Questioning is also important in challenging students to think deeper and look closer. I also...

My love for teaching and tutoring stems from my experience growing up on a sailboat in the Bahamas and Florida.
