I emphasize academic voice, argumentation, and the full writing process, while integrating executive functioning strategies such as organization, time management, and task initiation.

BA Bates College

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Bates College with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Biology and a minor in Spanish. While in college, I worked as a Biology and Chemistry teaching assistant with my peers and as a substitute teacher in the public schools in my town. I now work as a Research Associate at the Broad Institute, a genomics research institution, where I develop CRISPR technology. I am attending medical school in August. In my free time I love running, cooking, reading, and doing crossword puzzles. My philosophy as a tutor is to inspire passion in my students. Cultivating a genuine interest in the subject is essential to lifelong learning. Science and math are all around us, and they are accessible subjects if we put them in the context of the everyday. I'm looking forward to sharing my love of learning with you!

I have a background in journalism, teaching, curriculum development, personal finance, web publishing, and digital marketing. My biggest strengths are in reading, writing, and editing. I have a master's degree in journalism from The University of Texas at Austin, and a bachelor's degree in history from Bates College. I have a certificate in editing from the University of Washington (Seattle) and am a certified financial education instructor. Currently I am studying to become a certified financial literacy professional. I generally like to tutor in reading and writing, though I also like to teach math for elementary and middle school students. I love to edit written work, so I also like to help students out with college application essays. I've taught students from elementary school all the way to college, and I've learned patience is a required skill for teaching. I always want to help students who want to learn but also understand every student learns at a different pace. I always try to understand students' learning styles and their personality to figure out the best personalized approach for the student.

Teaching, for me, is one of the best ways I know to give back to the world. It is through education that our eyes are opened, curiosity ignited, and our minds pushed farther than we imagined possible. I firmly believe in the capacity of every person to grow and learn. I also see and value the fact that we all have multiple intelligences and learning styles. What works for one person may not work for another. Also, we all have our own special blend of talents and abilities that can be honed and channeled while learning something new. My wide range of experiences in education aids me in approaching ever new student and subject area with creativity and compassion. I look forward to working with you!

BA Bates College
9+ Years Tutoring

I have made a passion out of helping students get into their top-choice schools since I received a BA from Bates College in 2009. I began my teaching career with The Princeton Review and have helped literally hundreds of students fulfill their potentials in a relaxed, fun environment. My students for the SAT have routinely seen their scores go up enormously not only on practice exams but also on the days of the actual test. My students for the PSAT, SSAT, SAT Subject Test in Literature, AP Literature Exam, and AP Language Exam have also seen huge improvements in terms of their test-day performances. Additionally, I have helped numerous teenagers tackle the dreaded essay for college, guiding them as they illustrate their character, personality, and aspirations. Outside of teaching, I am writing a novel and take classes through The Writers Studio in Manhattan. In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer and tennis, following current events, and exploring New York City.

As a current high school Mandarin teacher with an MA in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language from Middlebury College, Chinese studies is my greatest passion in life.

We can do our lesson entirely in Mandarin or only speaking Mandarin when you wish. I'm here to make you feel welcomed and confident speaking a new language.

I just finished up a graduate program and moved to Boston, where I am currently interning and pondering the next step in my career. I am a self-proclaimed "audio nerd" and do freelance work within sound design and audio production. I really enjoy the intricacies of language and would be very interested in delving into a graduate/doctorate program in German Studies eventually, as I have a BA in German from Bates College. Right now, I am studying for the GRE and applying to other grad programs in that area.I have enjoyed working with and mentoring children and young adults all of my life. Throughout high school and college I spent my summers working at summer camps, with children aged 6-16. Most recently I worked at AYF Merrowvista in the summer of 2014, where I led teenagers on adventure trips throughout New England. I particularly enjoy mentoring and watching children grow into their identities as they grow up and would really relish the opportunity to help your child not only develop their skills as a student but grow into a personable and confident young adult.

Tutors with Bates experience have already proven they can excel in demanding coursework, which speaks to their ability to help other students achieve similar success.

Bates College tutors excel across a wide range of subjects, from sciences and mathematics to humanities and languages. Because Bates emphasizes strong liberal arts education across disciplines, many alumni tutors have deep knowledge in multiple subject areas. Whether you need help with foundational concepts or advanced coursework, you can get matched with a tutor whose Bates experience aligns with your academic needs.

Tutors who graduated from Bates understand the specific demands of the college's curriculum and can help you develop the study strategies and critical thinking skills Bates courses require. They can guide you through challenging material, help you prepare for exams, and teach you how to approach the kind of rigorous analysis and writing Bates emphasizes.

One-on-one instruction allows a tutor to focus entirely on your learning style, pace, and specific challenges—something that's impossible in group settings. A Bates College tutor can tailor explanations to match how you learn best and draw on their own experience navigating Bates coursework to anticipate where you might struggle. This personalized approach typically leads to faster progress and deeper understanding than group study alone.

Your first session is an opportunity to connect with your tutor, discuss your academic goals, and identify areas where you need the most support. The tutor will assess your current understanding, learn about your learning style, and develop a personalized plan to help you succeed. This initial conversation sets the foundation for effective, targeted instruction tailored to your needs.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction addresses your specific knowledge gaps and learning challenges in ways that classroom instruction often cannot.
