Language as a Vehicle for Story in Theatre and Children's Literature
New York University - Bachelor in Arts, Individualized Study

About Me

I graduated with honors from New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized study, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts. My Concentration was Language as a Vehicle for Story in Theatre and Children's Literature, with minors in Dramatic Literature and Medieval & Renaissance Studies. Since graduation, I have worked extensively with children, as a babysitter, tutor, private NYC nanny, and in a childcare facility here in Cincinnati. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Reading, Math, and Science for grade school, and English and French for middle and high school. In my experience helping struggling children learn to read, I have found that games, songs, and silly stories are my most effective teaching tools. I am a vehement believer that literacy and an appreciation for literature are the most important tools one needs to carve out a meaningful existence in this life. As Dr. Seuss so aptly put it, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”When I'm not teaching, I am either reading (surprise!), working on one of my blogs, or cooking something delicious. I look forward to meeting you!

Q&A with Adrianna

I believe in the teacher as facilitator. I strive to help my students unlock their intellectual potential by making them think critically. When students achieve their capacity for critical thinking, they achieve far more than they would simply memorizing facts by rote. I think of the "teach a man to fish" analogy.
