About Me

With over ten years of tutoring and teaching experience and multiple advanced degrees, I am the ideal candidate to help students succeed in any academic environment. My educational background includes in-depth study in politics, philosophy, art history, and practical communication (public speaking and performing arts). Specifically, I have an MA in Performance Studies from New York University, an MA in Rhetorical Studies from Hofstra University, and a BA in Political Science (with an emphasis in international development and a philosophy minor).I have taught students of all age levels in public, private, and one-on-one settings. Some of my past experiences include: peer-tutoring throughout high school and my undergraduate education, substitute teaching English, history, government, speech/debate, and drama in a secondary school, organizing and teaching acting and technical theatre at a performing arts summer camp, teaching English, reading comprehension, and writing to gifted/advanced 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade students, and assistant coaching collegiate level speech and debate. I want to work to promote a love of art and culture in my students as I am also a working artist. I act, write poetry, create conceptional performance art, and provide curatorial assistance to a gallery in North Brooklyn. You can be assured that any student I work with will cultivate writing, comprehension, and critical thinking skills that will serve them well throughout their academic and professional lives.

Q&A with Sierra

Every student is different and I believe any effective teacher needs to listen to the needs and wants of their students and be able to adjust their style and methods accordingly. Flexibility and creativity rule the day.
