Award-Winning Tutors from Williams College

I am a graduate of Williams College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Since graduation, I have worked a wide variety of jobs: organic farm manager, solar panel installer, sous chef at a renowned restaurant, founder of a music cooperative in downtown Phoenix and, most recently, multi-instrumentalist in a band that tours all over the world. Obviously, my interests are broad. I view every personal endeavor as a fundamentally educational experience. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, literature, history, philosophy, and Spanish (which I learned to speak while studying philosophy in Argentina). I really enjoy working with students to sharpen written assignments. Even the best writers require editing! I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy making music, travel, and reading.

I am a third-year chemistry student at Williams College. My goal as a tutor is to provide you with the best experience possible. I have the skills to teach you everything you need to succeed in the classroom and prepare you for one of the most important tests you'll need for college, the ACT.

I just finished my coursework for my Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences degree at Tufts University School of Medicine. I have a B.A. in Chemistry and Chinese from Williams College. I am a very reliable and dedicated tutor. I will work hard and efficiently to help you improve your test scores, studying habits, and grades. My teaching philosophy is very much similar to a lot of my science professors. "Do practice questions. Do practice questions. Do some more practice questions!" Since I like to have concepts simplified and broken down for me, I will do the same for my students.

Hello everyone! I'm Marisol. I was born and raised in IL and decided to root my career here in Lake County. I've always had a passion for tutoring. I can remember being in primary school making handwritten "worksheets" for my sister whom is two years younger. I have been a constant tutor throughout my life, both officially and unofficially.I was a recruiter as well as a tutor on the board of the Brayton Elementary School Tutoring Program during my time at Williams College. My role as recruiter involved attracting college students to sign on and then training them on how to tutor in areas varied such as reading and math. I also worked for the Boys & Girls Club assisting with programming for 3rd graders and have led the Waukegan Park District's Special Ed Teen Summer Camp. Mentorship has always been fulfilling for me.From all of these collective experiences I hope to nurture the tutoring skills I have obtained. I understand that not everyone learns the same, so I am here to listen and teach you how you learn best. Different people learn through different methods, be it visual, auditory, repetition, or hands-on, and I am committed to teach in the style in which you prefer. I am comfortable simply helping with pre-assigned homework from a teacher to creating your own customized lesson plan and materials from the ground-up. Tell me what you want to accomplish, and I will do my best to simply help you get there in a fun and lasting manner.I am a native Spanish speaker and learned grammar in grade school. I can provide great real life conversational skills and will help with the written and reading components in both conventional and non-conventional ways. I will customize language exercises according to your learning goals and style.I received my B.A. in Theatre but have been doing it since I was 12. I am a firm believer that theatre is applicable in almost any discipline and I am here to utilize those skills to make the best personalized tutoring experience for my students.Interested in hearing more about what I am willing to tutor in or my teaching style? Send me a message and I would gladly answer!

As a graduate of Williams College, I received my Bachelors of Arts as a double major in Religion and Arabic Studies and a concentration in International Studies. Throughout high school and college, I worked with a range of students on all academic subjects, emphasizing confidence building through academic engagement. After graduation, I worked in Yemen for nine months coordinating a State Department English Language program for Yemeni youth, a life-changing experience that inspired me to approach the teaching process with a broader, encompassing perspective. Apart from my experience with the Arabic language, I am also a native Spanish speaker. Although I am available to tutor in a range of topics, I am particularly passionate about History, Religion, Geography, and all Social Studies. I have personally committed myself to improving education throughout the world and promoting its appreciation among students in order to enhance the learning process as well as intrinsically benefit the student. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and experiencing different cultures around the world, reading novels, yoga, and volunteering with youth.

I graduated in the top ten percent of my high school class and went on to Williams College (MA) to complete my Bachelor's degree in Biology. Currently, I am in the process of applying to medical school. In the meantime, I work for Miami Dade College. I like to tutor because I like teaching and explaining information to others.I believe a good teaching methodology is based on finding a good way to relate the new material to previous knowledge. It is also important to find analogies that could be applicable to real life situations.I have extensive knowledge in the science field including Biology, Physics, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Genetics. I have experience tutoring in each of these. I have also worked with children in grades K-12 on homework and classroom assignments.I particularly like to teach Math because it is my favorite subject. I like to play chess, soccer and talk about fitness. I believe I can have a positive impact on the lives of my students and contribute to their education.

I am a graduate of Williams College with majors in both Chemistry and Political science. I also completed the pre-medical curriculum and plan on going to medical school. While at Williams I expanded my love of learning under professors who focused on teaching, engaging students and building relationships. I took advantage of the liberal arts course offerings and am comfortable tutoring in the core social sciences.Trained by Teach For America, I have taught 9th grade Biology in Georgia public schools. In college I tutored my peers in General, Organic, Physical and Inorganic Chemistry. I was a lab Teaching Assistant for Molecular Biology, Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry. My experience also includes tutoring SAT, ACT, and SSAT test preparation, and high school science, math and English internationally.My teaching philosophy is that every student can learn and achieve at the highest level. I strive to explore different avenues of learning in order for students to comprehend and engage with the material.

I love helping students build their confidence as readers and writers. With over 17 years of teaching experience, I use targeted strategies to support students in identifying significant patterns in what they read and in developing evidence-based arguments and interpretations.

I graduated from Williams College in 2012 with a BA in Economics. I worked as a peer tutor in the Economics department for two years, and I was also a member of the varsity rowing team. After college, I taught elementary school English in South Korea for two years before becoming a rowing coach. I love to travel, read, and learn, and I love to share knowledge and learning experiences with others. Economics and English/literature are the two subjects I enjoy studying, and by extension teaching, the most, because they present two entirely different frameworks for understanding the world. I hope that I can pass on my curiosity, open-mindedness, and genuine love of the learning process to my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, and exploring the outdoors.

I believe in meeting learners where they are with their understanding and skill level. Teaching for me is about connecting new ideas to relatable experience. I understand motivation and mindset as being very important for learning.

As a graduate student at Northeastern University pursuing a Master's in Computer Science, I bring a unique blend of analytical skills and creativity to my tutoring approach. With a Bachelor's degree in Chinese and Philosophy from Williams College, I have a multi-dimensional approach to education and tutoring. My over two years of tutoring experience have shaped my belief in fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where students can thrive. I am passionate about helping students navigate complex concepts and develop critical thinking skills, particularly in writing college application essays and enhancing their overall academic performance. Outside of academics, I enjoy exploring literature and languages, which enriches my teaching style and connects me with students on a personal level.

I have BA in Physics and Statistics from Williams College, and an MA in Statistics from UC Berkeley. In the intervening year, I have worked at Success Academy in New York, analyzing student assessment data and assisting with remote instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic. I am particularly passionate about quantitative subjects such as math and science, and during my time as a physics TA at Williams I greatly enjoyed helping people understand the reasoning and real-world processes behind the equations. However, after leading a guided reading group this past spring, I have learned to love teaching literature and phonics as well. As both a data analyst and educator, I deeply believe in the necessity and value of a good quantitative education in an increasingly numbers-focused world.

I am a Math/Stat major at Williams College, Class of 2029. I've tutored for five years with Gradepotential, Shires Tutoring, the National Honors Society, and the Chicago North Shore Center in all subjects. I'm most experienced in AP course tutoring, test prep (AP, SAT), and math/stat courses. I've personally helped improve test scores for dozens of students from grades 3-12. I work with students at their pace, and adapt my teaching to suit their goals.

I am an excellent motivator and a passionate educator. I enjoy helping young people develop confidence in their abilities and therefore become stronger students and lifelong learners.

Hey y'all. My name is Sonja, and I am currently a grad student in NC State's School of Education. I love education and working with folks of all ages to learn. I've been tutoring in some capacity for over 15 years. At first, I primarily taught swim lessons, and then, overtime, I branched out to a myriad of subjects from rock climbing to essay writing and test prep. These days I focus on literacy, organization/executive function skills, test prep, and writing.I have taught middle school social studies and high school environmental science. I currently work with middle school students in an afterschool program in Durham, NC.My current degree will focus in literacy. As such, I'm excited to work with y'all in any number of subjects, especially reading, writing, organizational skills, college prep, and test prep. I'm passionate about curiosity. I delight in questions and pursuing greater knowledge. I'm passionate about reading - and believe that reading well can open huge educational doors. Please be in touch if you would like to chat more about tutoring. I would be honored to work with you! I am here to help.

I take time to make sure students understand the concepts on a deep level, and I encourage asking questions and having discussions about them. If you take the time to learn something well you will excel.

Throughout my academic and professional life, writing and reading critically have not only been my strong suit, but my passion. As a tutor, I'm committed to awakening and strengthening that same passion in my students through an emphasis on creative expression and a fun, but rigorous, approach to essay writing. Often the hardest thing for a young writer is forming a unique point of view on a prescribed prompt or topic, especially one that may seem less than relevant to their own life. My goal is to do just that: rouse their natural enthusiasm for a subject and help them support it with evidence that's laid out in a compelling, causal structure. Focusing on causal transitions between paragraphs is a skill rarely taught in secondary education, but often expected at the college level. I learned this the hard way. But my years of writing-intensive tutorial classes at Williams College, combined with my professional experience as a theater director and script editor, have provided me with a range of strategies to help students see their writing as a performance of their thinking.As a history tutor, my approach is similar. It's hard to memorize facts and dates; even harder if you feel personally unconnected to them. Students struggling to memorize people and events in a vacuum need more. I focus on helping my students maintain an active connection to history, boosting and intensifying information retention. I'll help them find unique ways to relate to the past, as well as the note-taking and diagramming methods that work best for them. My students will gain a strong sense of the world in which they live, how it came to be, and how to remember it all when faced with a test or essay.

As a passionate tutor with a B.A. in Russian and Political Science from Williams College and a strong science background, I am dedicated to helping students excel in multiple disciplines. I earned perfect scores in the English, Reading, and Science sections of the ACT as well as the Organic Chemistry section of the DAT, and was a National Merit Semifinalist and AP Scholar with Distinction. After graduating, I taught English overseas as a Fulbright awardee, earned a 4.0 in a post-baccalaureate program studying Human Anatomy, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Physics, and Physiology, and was admitted to an Ivy League dental school. With over 2 years of teaching and tutoring experience, I emphasize strategy-building and critical thinking techniques to help students develop widely applicable skills.

I graduated from Williams College in 2007. I then received a Watson Fellowship, and traveled to Romania, Hungary, the Ukraine, and Morocco, collecting oral narratives from women in minority groups. Upon returning to the U.S., I began the PhD program in Comparative Literature at Northwestern University, with a focus in early 20th-century Latin American literature. I just finished my doctorate in December of 2014.During my time at Northwestern, I taught a variety of language and literature courses in both English and Spanish. I was also able to travel extensively: I studied and conducted research in Berlin, Paris, London, Sao Paulo, Montevideo, and Buenos Aires, where I lived for nearly three years.I love teaching and talking about anything to do with words--whether that means literature, reading comprehension, writing skills, grammar, or simply building vocabularies. I tutor the SATs, GRE verbal, AP Spanish, and Spanish language at all levels. I have a relaxed and approachable manner, and encourage my students to cultivate their own distinct intellectual style and to relate their studies to other kinds of interests. In my experience, students are most successful when they combine test-taking strategies with an authentic curiosity and an ability to enjoy what they are doing (even for standardized tests!). Learning and teaching always go hand in hand, and so when I am not teaching, I try to spend my time learning something new: I love reading, especially long novels, I have practiced yoga for six years, and lately I am interested in silent-era cinema, the history of medicine, and learning how to play my brand-new pineapple ukulele.

I am a rising Senior at Williams College where I major in History and Political Science with a certificate in Arabic. Having learned Spanish, Arabic and Korean from scratch, I am a major proponent of learning new languages and enjoy helping others on their language journeys. I am also an avid chess player, and love to introduce others to the game.

Hello! I love tutoring and teaching subjects that I am passionate about. I am very committed to my students' success and also happiness and hope through my tutoring my students will becoming increasingly confident and competent in whatever subject they wish to be tutored for. I strive to not only teach them the concepts and materials, but how to study more efficiently and develop conceptual capabilities that will benefit their academic career in the future.In the past, I have been a writing mentor at my high school and worked with children through a organization called Breakthrough Austin. I was also a leader for a summer camp where we taught English to non-English speakers. I love teaching and seeing sparkles of epiphany in the students' eyes.

I'm a rising sophomore at Williams College (B.A. track) and a graduate of Horace Mann School. I tutor math, writing and test prep (SAT/ACT) in Westchester and parts of New York City. I spent two years tutoring Edgemont and Scarsdale High School students and spent the summer of 2017 as a mentor for Summer on the Hill at Horace Mann. As a tutor, I try to show students several different approaches to any task they are faced with, whether it be solving a math problem or organizing an essay. This way, students can find the method that best suits their learning style. Furthermore, they not only learn how to address the individual task but also begin to understand how to approach similar tasks, acquiring skills that can be useful in the future. Outside of academia, I enjoy playing guitar, running, biking and watching sports.

In the spring of 2012, I graduated summa cum laude from Williams College with a degree in English. During college I played on the varsity baseball team and spent a semester studying in Israel. Since graduation, I have been living in New York and working as a private tutor for families and for individual students. Although there are a variety of subjects that I enjoy tutoring, my favorites include English and History. I also have experience in tutoring the SAT. I try to make each tutoring session fun and engaging, tailoring the lesson to the student's specific needs and interests. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, watching sports, playing chess and spending time with friends and family.

I have had a passion for learning and teaching for as long as I can remember, and I believe that every child deserves the chance to succeed academically. I graduated from Williams College with a degree in history. Next summer, I will matriculate at Mount Sinai Medical School in New York City.I began tutoring elementary and middle school students while in high school. We worked on math, science, social studies, and English. During college, I spent a month as a teacher's assistant in a middle school English Language Learners' classroom in Portland, Maine. The summer after my freshman year at Williams, I spent three weeks in rural Tanzania teaching English to seventh grade students. This past summer, I spent eleven weeks at the same Tanzanian school teaching English to students in kindergarten through ninth grade.Everyone has a different learning style, so I am open to suggestions and flexible in my teaching style in order to ensure that each student is successful and reaches his or her academic goals. Tutoring can be a wonderful confidence booster for students, and I am eager to share my enthusiasm with my students. I look forward to working with and learning from students in the Atlanta area.

I am a graduate of Williams College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biology with a minor in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. In College, I was a Laboratory Assistant helping biology 101 students understand the lab environment and how to use the tools available to them to ask complex biological questions and solve problems. As a Biology and Computer Science Teaching Assistant, I enjoyed organizing and hosting exam review sessions and office hours for Physiology students and Introductory Computer Science. I also joined the peer tutoring space in college where I tutored genetics, physiology, and mathematics. After graduating, I took a gap year to work at a tech company and finish my medical school application.While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about MCAT tutoring. I took the MCAT in January 2022 and can truly relate to students going through the stressful experience of preparing medical school applications. I would love to take advantage of my teaching and tutoring experience in college, and recent experience applying to med school, to guide and help students going through this application process.

I am a graduate of Williams College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in American Studies with a focus on race, ethnicity, and diaspora. Since graduation, I have tutored and taught in charter and private schools in New Jersey, New York, and most recently Pennsylvania. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math and History. I like to think of my brain as ambidextrous--I often oscillate between STEM and Humanities. My primary objective is to help every student recognize and tap into their learning potential. Watching a student struggle with a math concept, then have an "Aha!" moment has to be the most rewarding part of my job. Seeing students confidently and willingly push themselves outside their academic comfort zone brings me great joy.

I am a graduate of Williams College where I majored in biology and concentrated in biochemistry & molecular biology and environmental studies. After graduation, I did genetic research at Princeton University for one year. Now I'm a medical student at the Frank H. Netter School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University and aspire to be an orthopedic physician. I'm involved with sports medicine research with a physician at the Yale School of Medicine who specializes in complex knee injuries. I want to help students prepare for the MCAT and reach their goal of attending medical school.

I am a recent graduate of Williams College, where I studied political science with sidelines in history and English. Next fall, I am headed to Ithaca to study at Cornell Law School. I have experience tutoring in all subjects for high school standardized tests and in writing and history at higher levels, and am excited to pass on the benefits of my study as a tutor for the LSAT. I look forward to working with you!

I am currently an undergraduate student at Williams College studying Mathematics and Computer Science. I graduated from high school as valedictorian of my class and have been passionate about tutoring students since middle school. I love to support students learning and their journey to success in whatever they are achieving. I'm especially passionate about tutoring math, and english, as well as writing essays for any situation.

I'm a recent graduate of Williams College, a small, prestigious liberal arts college in Massachusetts. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History and minored in International and Africana Studies. Due to my profound interest in Spanish, I was the recipient of a research fellowship in Guatemala and earned a Certificate from the Language Department, the latter only awarded to students who completed seven courses with a minimum of a B+ cumulative average and received an A on the proficiency exam. From my experience working as a legal intern at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and a History major, I have strong writing and research background. During my time at Williams, I also worked as a student technology consultant and a teaching assistant to a high-school summer program on campus.What makes me unique as a tutor is that I can empathize with the frustrations of learning. I am unashamed to admit that during my academic experience, I openly sought help and tutoring from peers and friends, alike. Therefore, I understand what it is like to seek assistance, solve an issue strategically, succeed and be better off because of being honest with myself. As a tutor, I know my students would flourish from patience, diligence, and fun. We would approach topics in a relaxed and prudent manner.

I'm a graduate of Williams College where I received my Bachelor's degree in Art History, and of the University of Southern California where I received my Master's of Fine Arts in Film and Television Production. In the past several years I've worked in various roles at film production companies, primarily as one who reads and writes reviews of scripts and books. I acted as a writing coach to other interns, and office assistants, helping them to revise written critiques of scripts and books for official review. I truly love helping others to improve their critical reading and writing abilities, as it's a skill that's crucial to success not only in academia, but also in the professional world, regardless of one's career path.In addition to helping others improve their writing skills over the past several years, I also tutored adults in conversational English while studying abroad in Spain, and assisted my own younger sister in revising her college application essays and throughout the whole of her college application process.I am an avid reader with a passion for 20th century American and English literature, and am looking forward to digging into texts with students who are tackling great books in their classes.Aside from tutoring, I love hiking, going to art museums, and of course keeping up to date with all the great movies and TV shows that are in theaters and on HBO, etc.

I'm looking to tutor middle and high school students across the humanities: literature, history, philosophy, theology, social studies, and religious studies. I also look forward to coaching students through their writing efforts, having the tools to help them improve both substance and style. Having been inspired by a host of excellent teachers throughout my intellectual career, I'm anxious to transfer my passion for humanities to any and all students. I also love reading students' writing, as it can clue me in to their passions and make it easier for me to instill a love of learning.I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, History, and Jewish Studies from Williams College, America's top liberal arts institution according to U.S. News and World Report. After graduating cum laude and with departmental honors from Williams, I spent two years teaching at Portsmouth Abbey School, New England's premiere co-ed Catholic boarding school. While at the Abbey, I taught two sections of sophomore Humanities (a Western "great books" course stretching from St. Paul's "Letter to the Romans" and Augustine's "Confessions" to Marx's "The Communist Manifesto" and Freud's "Civilization and Its Discontents") and one section of senior English (we began with several Shakespeare plays and ended with the novels of Dickens, Joyce, and Nabokov). Both classes required a great deal of writing. My Humanities students had short weekly essays for the small 'writing section' and longer essays for the primary texts. My English students, meanwhile, were required to write independent theses on literary works of their choosing. I enjoyed helping my students to conceive, compose, proofread, and revise these essays.At Portsmouth Abbey, I learned that a teacher must make every effort to enter a student's intellectual world, to meet the student on his or her own terms. I have found a good sense of humor my most useful tool in this endeavor; laughter creates comfort. Moreover, comedy stimulates the intellect, as it appeals to reason (that is, if you're laughing at a joke, that means you've 'gotten it'). My strong background in theatre, improv, and sketch comedy makes it easy for me to maintain a student's attention.I am pursuing a career in entertainment, and have cultivated a serious passion for theatre, film, and improv comedy. The photograph I use for this website is the same one I usually bring to auditions! I'm also a lifelong Yankees fan. My roommates and I watch as many games together as we can!I'm excited to meet new clients and get to work!

I graduated from Williams college with a Bachelor's of Arts in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Public Health, and Honors in Neuroscience. With a strong liberal arts background I am passionate about seeking knowledge at the intersection of disciplines often studied in isolation. Though I love teaching and learning with students in a variety of subjects my favorite subjects to tutor are Spanish, Neuroscience, reading comprehension and writing. I find that these subjects offer a great opportunity to integrate a variety of learning styles and perspectives between a tutor and student. I love to find tools and tricks to help each individual understand concepts across a variety of subjects. Each area of study often requires different approaches to best understand new and recurring recurring concepts. My teaching style is focused on first understanding how a student learns best and then working on specific questions, problems, or curriculums with this perspective in mind. Outside of academia I love to cook, to play soccer, and am currently learning how to skateboard. Let's learn together!

I'm a tutor currently living in Astoria, NY. I am a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Williams College and Phi Beta Kappa member with extensive experience in teaching in tutoring.In addition to being a martial arts black belt and instructor, I tutored throughout high school and college. While at Williams I was a peer tutor for various subjects including writing and political science. I have also tutored per-calculus, biology, geometry, and SAT Math, reading, and writing.My strengths as a tutor are quickly analyzing student's learning habits and tailoring my approach to best suit their needs and skills. I set reachable goals for every session and clear expectations about my responsibilities and the students responsibilities in preparing for our work together in order to maximize the time we have. I pride myself on being able to explain abstract concepts in practical terms and on being approachable and understanding. I am a warm, funny, and determined person who genuinely loves teaching. In addition to tutoring I perform improv comedy in the city, work at an emerging theater company and still practice martial arts in my spare time.I look forward to working with you or your student soon!

I recently graduated from Williams College (the #1 College in America) with a degree in Biology and Maritime Studies. I am qualified to tutor in many areas including the math and sciences, English, and test preparation (ranging from elementary level through the SATs/ACTs). I have tutored for my entire life and would love to help your student with whatever they may need. I try to relate to the student through their likes to instill in them a love of learning--especially in subjects that are hard to grasp. Please let me know if you would like any more information!

I've been teaching biology to undergraduates since 2003, as a tenured professor at the University of Redlands and as visiting faculty at various institutions, including Boston College and Williams College. One of my greatest joys in life is seeing my students grow in their skills, their confidence, and the power to shape their futures.

I am a graduate of Williams College. I received my Bachelor of the Arts in Theatre and English. I spent most of my time in school training as a writer, actor, and director, including spending a summer studying Shakespeare at the London Academy for Music and the Dramatic Arts (LAMDA) and a semester studying at the National Theater Institute (NTI). Since I graduated from Williams, I have studied filmmaking at the New York Film Academy (NYFA), worked for an entertainment studio, creating virtual content based on a series of children's books, interned at a film development company and a film festival, and done freelance video editing for non-profits. My passion is for storytelling in all of its forms. I love helping people to tell stories in the most effective way possible, and I have worked to help people edit and improve their writing both informally and professionally. Developing a story is hard work, but I find that pushing through that difficulty is incredibly fulfilling, and it is a rewarding experience to help people do that. My love of stories continues well into my leisure time. I enjoy am an avid fan of films and television, books, as well as anime and manga. When I am not voraciously devouring someone else's story, I am usually telling my own as a filmmaker and animator, or I could be playing/watching soccer.

I obtained my M.S. in chemistry at Brandeis university, and my B.A. in chemistry and environmental studies at Williams College where I spent 4 of my 5 years as a teaching assistant, serving in both laboratory and classroom settings. I also operated as a private tutor for 3 years. Moreover, at Williams College I was a chemistry tutor for the Math/Science Resource Center for 2 years, in addition to being a peer tutor for an environmental studies class: Humans and the Biosphere. During my prior teaching experience, I discovered my favored teaching method: getting to know my students in a one-on-one environment, and learning about their interests. I then try to relate my teaching to my student's interests. If I can find an example relevant to their interests, I will use it. And if I'm using a metaphor, again, I try to choose metaphors most relevant to them.I specialize in a mix of organic chemistry and biochemistry, but I have a broad liberal arts background, so my knowledge can range from astronomy to theater to art history to baking. Some of the most fun chemistry occurs in the kitchen.

I graduated from Williams College with a BA in Chemistry and Womens' and Gender Studies and received my MD from Stony Brook University School of Medicine (now Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook U.) in 2016. During college, I developed a keen interest in women's reproductive health and would later factor into my decision to become an OBGYN. Before applying to medical school, I was a college admissions officer at Williams and had the utmost privilege evaluating the best and brightest applicants across the nation. At Stony Brook, I became a teaching assistant in human anatomy and physiology, and received a prestigious fellowship grant from the HIV Vaccine Trials Network where I spent a year conducting both community outreach and clinical research on barriers and facilitators to HIV vaccine trials among underrepresented minorities in NYC. During residency, I discovered that my greatest fulfillment did not come from being a physician but as an educator. Soon after, I transitioned into education where I have since found great success teaching undergrad courses in chemistry, biology, and human anatomy and physiology. My teaching philosophy revolves around cultivating self-motivated learning and resilience and I believe in empowering students to drive their own educational journey. Over the past decade, I have served as a mentor and tutor to countless students and have dedicated myself to increasing the representation of first-generation college students in STEM fields. I have extensive experience preparing medical and nursing students for their licensure exams (USMLE, NCLEX, PANCE) with a particular focus on overcoming past failures on both STEP 1 and 2. And I most enjoy tutoring high school students in chemistry. As a tutor, I am deeply committed to fostering supportive learning environments where all students can maximize their potential and find success in their academic and professional endeavors. This is especially true for students with learning differences. Outside the classroom, I enjoy playing volleyball, watching streamers on Twitch, baking (I love Oreo cheesecake), and finding interesting places to eat in NYC. I believe we can accomplish great things together. Let's make it happen!

I graduated from Williams College with a Bachelor???s Degree in Arabic Studies in June 2017 and will pursue a Master???s of Philosophy in Modern Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Oxford in October.I have seven years of experience teaching and tutoring. In high school, I tutored middle school students after school and over the summer in Math & Reading. More recently, I have taught English classes for non-native speakers in Egypt and during weekly Skype sessions. I have enjoyed helping some of my students prepare for the TOEFL test. I also can teach Arabic to native English speakers!As I went through the college admissions process not too long ago, I remember how rigorous and stressful taking the SAT and ACT can be. Knowing that writing and critical reading are my strengths, I committed to math tutoring to review certain concepts and to build my confidence. I wish to share my enthusiasm for and conviction in the benefits of standardized test prep with my students!
