...shape their ideas into coherent narratives. However, I am proudest to have supported students in their pursuit of graduate education. Sometimes this meant helping with admissions essays and personal statements, strategically planning their application process, or talking through the unwritten rules of graduate admissions and graduate education. I have experience working with college students who have learning differences, and I am sensitive to the specific processes used to support these students in higher education. Additionally,...

I have spent 1 year tutoring and teaching, 3 years as both a soccer and orienteering coach, and 1 semester as a Lab Assistant at MIT.

...to multivariable calculus and linear algebra! I have two younger siblings-- one in elementary school and one in high school-- so I feel comfortable teaching all ages! WHY I tutor math: To me, I don't really see math as an academic subject, but rather an art form. It is a universal language that everyone knows how to speak, regardless of who you are.

I also work at Party Princess Productions in Boston, where I've been smothered in face paint and sung every "Frozen" song in existence.
