About Me

I have over 6 years of experience with tutoring in English, History, and writing. I have also edited both academic, creative, and personal writing, and have experience in helping edit and structure college essays. I believe that my studies at the University of Richmond in English and Classics and my work in English at graduate school at NYU have given me a deep and nuanced understanding of both English literature and history that I would love to share with others. I first became interested in education at college at the University of Richmond when I volunteered as a tutor for children between the ages of 6 and 10, working on reading comprehension, writing, and homework help. I continued to work as a tutor through Jumpstart, where I worked pre-K aged students on reading and writing skills, as well as early development in art and science. in my spare time, I have edited my friends' academic and creative essays for college classes and publication, respectively. As a tutor, I believe that learning should be both fun and enlightening. I'm a compassionate, friendly teacher who enjoys working with students one-on-one, which I think is often the best way to engage with learning. In working with me, you will find someone who is supportive and patient, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure you learn and succeed.
