...New York City in 2011. At Princeton, I work in the writing center tutoring fellow students in critical thinking, analysis, and academic writing. I also have a good deal of experience helping elementary and junior high students with math, reading, and French. Still, writing remains my favorite subject to tutor, largely because of the discussions that accompany it. Outside of the classroom, I'm a varsity cross-country and track runner; an enthusiastic fan of the New...

...school. In college I helped fifth graders at the local public school after school with their homework. I have experience with a broad age range and I enjoy the differences in approach that each student demands. I believe that a tutor must have patience.

My hobbies and interests include reading (literature), creative writing, calligraphy, and video games. I grew up in bilingual household, so I can also speak Mandarin in a near-native level and studied and travelled extensively in Europe and Asia. I hope to be a writer someday, and I would describe myself as laid-back,...

A battle-tested veteran of the New York private school circuit, I graduated college in 2013 and now teach German in DC. I lived in German-speaking Europe for many years, and I majored its language, culture and history. I fully understand the many competing demands on a modern student's schedule. My tutees and I therefore tailor-make lesson plans based on their personal strengths and areas for improvement in order to fully capitalize on our time together.

In my spare time, I love to play volleyball (I'm...
