Madeline: Syracuse SSAT tutor

I love working with every type of student to help them reach their goals. As an English Ph.D. student, literature remains at the center of my educational journey. Reading and the skills that come with it--comprehension, analysis, critical thinking, empathy--are of utmost importance. I work hard to balance between challenging and encouraging my students. My excitable disposition and energy help to motivate learning and reinforce confidence in their own minds.
