Talia teaches outlining techniques and paragraph architecture — topic sentences that do real work, evidence integration, transitions that aren't just "furthermore" — drawn from her own extensive writing across political science and history coursework.

The hardest part of writing usually isn't the writing itself — it's organizing scattered ideas into a coherent argument before the deadline spiral kicks in. Kerry's work as a productivity coach specializing in executive functioning makes her unusually effective at the planning and outlining stages that most students skip.

Blank-page paralysis usually comes from not knowing how to organize ideas before putting them into sentences. Shandalea tackles that head-on with brainstorming and outlining techniques that give students a clear roadmap, then teaches them to develop paragraphs with specific evidence and purposeful transitions — skills that transfer from personal narratives to research papers and beyond.

Most students know what they want to say but struggle to organize it on the page, especially when moving from a five-paragraph format to more sophisticated structures.

I am a recent graduate of Harvard College, graduating with a degree of High Honors in the History of Science. I am also anticipating entering dental school this coming Fall at Columbia College of Dental Medicine. In this interim year, I would love the opportunity to continue tutoring -- I have tutored all throughout college in a multitude of subjects, and this rewarding experience has not only helped the students, but has also allowed me the chance to myself better learn how to communicate with students of all ages and backgrounds.

I'm interested in advocacy, public health, and immigration. My hobbies include hiking and spending as much time as possible outdoors, learning to play the guitar, learning new languages, running, and weight-lifting.

I'm a recent PhD graduate in Bioengineering in the Boston area. My thesis involved nanoparticles and bacterial infections, but as a biomedical engineer I've had training in circuits, mechanics, some programming, chemistry and biology. Tutoring for me is a collaborative effort, following a problem-based learning with questions that will lead the student towards the answer they're looking for while providing a well-rounded understanding of why and how that answer works.

I am currently a Finance major at Boston College. I graduated from the United World College in Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. At this school, my interest in tutoring and getting to know different people was ignited when I started tutoring non-native English speakers. I learned to be patient while teaching new subjects and to cater to the needs and interests of my students. I have lots of experience taking standardized tests such as the ACT and AP tests and would love to spread my knowledge to my tutees in an exciting and dynamic way.
