An analytical mindset can be a real asset in literature, where the goal is to build an argument about a text rather than just summarize it. Anshu approaches literary analysis the way he'd approach an engineering problem: identify what's actually happening in the passage, isolate the author's techniques, and construct a clear, evidence-backed interpretation.

Reading a novel for class and actually analyzing it are two very different skills. Amanda teaches students to dig into literary devices like symbolism, narrative perspective, and thematic development by asking pointed questions about the text rather than handing over pre-packaged interpretations. Her analytical mindset from studying computer science gives her a structured approach to close reading that resonates with students who think they're "just not English people."

Reading literature through the lens of psychology gives Jaishri an unusual edge when it comes to character analysis, unreliable narrators, and thematic interpretation. She teaches students to build arguments about a text by grounding claims in specific passages rather than vague impressions, a skill that transfers directly to timed essays and class discussions.

Studying French language and literature at the University of Dallas means Alison spends her days doing close reading across literary traditions — analyzing narrative structure, symbolism, and authorial intent in both English and French texts. She brings that comparative lens to literature tutoring, teaching students how to build an argument about a text rather than just summarize its plot.

Reading literature is one thing; knowing how to argue about it is another. Mary's English Literature coursework at the University of Dallas has immersed her in close reading across genres — from Renaissance poetry to modernist fiction — and she teaches students to build interpretive claims grounded in textual evidence rather than surface-level summary.

An avid reader outside of his engineering career, Corbin brings genuine curiosity to literary analysis — whether a student is unpacking symbolism in a novel or tracing a character's arc through a short story. He teaches close-reading techniques like annotating for tone shifts and identifying narrative structure, skills that translate directly into stronger essays and class discussions.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
