I received my B.A. in English and Writing with a minor in Philosophy from the University of Colorado Denver. I graduated summa cum laude and with a 4.0 GPA. Before I attended UCD, I studied English literature for two years at Hunter College in New York City. I am a patient, fun, and energetic tutor, and I want nothing more than to see my students realize their potential. I understand the importance of receiving a high score on the standardized test for which your child is preparing, but I also understand that for many students, the pressure during prep time can be a bit overwhelming. I'm here to effectively teach content, organizational skills, and test-taking strategy, but I'm also here to help my students take a deep breath and know that with some practice and some confidence, a great score is definitely within reach!

I also have experience editing college/admissions essays, personal statements, and writing samples. I received a perfect 12 on my SAT essay, and I contributed as a co-editor of the literary journal Copper Nickel. I was also a peer editor for several years in both high school and college. I can work with clients to significantly improve specific pieces of writing for tests, portfolios, and submissions -- or just help my students improve their overall writing and revision skills.
