I graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Arts in Government and a Minor in European Studies and am very interested in international relations, research, and education policy. Most of my experience stems from mentorship and teaching roles in formal and informal learning spaces, providing college access, reading, math, and writing support to students K-12 as well as adult learners. As a student teacher, I am constantly exploring new teaching strategies and have particularly found a lot of joy working with bilingual and multilingual learners!

I am a recent graduate of the University of Notre Dame, IN, where I earned my doctoral degree in contemporary American poetry. Before that I earned my masters in English at Wake Forest University, NC. I am passionate about poetry, writing, and the English language, and dedicated to helping others understand and achieve competence in the writing process. I have taught college-level composition courses, as well as a poetry course, and have tutored at Wake Forest University's writing center for two years, and therefore have experience in coaching students at different skill levels through many stages of the writing process, including formulating arguments, brainstorming ideas, handling grammatical issues, finding sources for research, and revising essays. I continue to enjoy meeting students where they are and walking with them through the learning process. We are all students of language; I find a deep satisfaction in enabling others to become great students.

Frequently Asked Questions
In Long Beach classrooms with an average student-teacher ratio of 24:1, teachers often can't provide individualized feedback on writing or address each student's specific reading comprehension gaps. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your child's strengths and weaknesses—whether that's essay structure, literary analysis, grammar, or vocabulary—and adjust pacing based on their learning style. This targeted approach typically leads to faster skill development and greater confidence in English Language Arts.
Many students struggle with writing organization and clarity, reading comprehension across different text types, and understanding complex literary analysis. Others find grammar rules confusing or lack confidence in class discussions and presentations. Personalized tutoring addresses these specific pain points with customized strategies—for example, a tutor might use graphic organizers to improve essay structure or guided reading techniques to strengthen comprehension skills.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand California state standards and the specific curricula used across Long Beach's eight school districts. Whether your student is working on elementary writing foundations, middle school literary analysis, or high school essay writing and critical reading, tutors can align their instruction with what's being taught in class while providing deeper practice and clarification on challenging concepts.
Writing improvement happens through targeted feedback and repeated practice with guidance. Tutors work with students on everything from brainstorming and outlining to drafting, revising, and editing—breaking down the writing process into manageable steps. With personalized instruction, students receive specific feedback on their own writing rather than generic classroom comments, which accelerates their ability to recognize patterns and apply corrections to future assignments.
Effective reading comprehension relies on active engagement with text. Tutors use techniques like close reading, annotation strategies, questioning methods, and summarization exercises tailored to your student's current level—whether they're building foundational skills or analyzing complex literary themes. Regular practice with real texts from their curriculum, combined with immediate feedback, helps students develop stronger understanding and retention.
The first session focuses on understanding your student's current skills, learning style, and specific goals. The tutor will likely assess their strengths in areas like reading, writing, and grammar, discuss what they're working on in class, and identify where they need the most support. This foundation allows the tutor to create a personalized plan for subsequent sessions that directly targets improvement areas.
Yes. Whether preparing for state assessments, the SAT, ACT, or AP English exams, tutors can provide targeted instruction on test-specific reading and writing strategies. They help students understand what these tests measure, practice with authentic test questions, manage timing, and build confidence. Personalized prep focuses on your student's specific weak areas rather than generic test prep.
