Hello! My name is Nicole and I am a tutor who is currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Economics and Political Science from Barnard College of Columbia University. I have over 2 years of experience helping high school students excel in their college application essays and public speaking skills. My approach is student-centered; I believe in tailoring each lesson to address individual strengths and weaknesses, ensuring that my feedback is detailed and constructive. I take pride in guiding students to convey their unique stories effectively, helping many gain admission to top-tier schools. My own experience as a debater and essay writer drives my commitment to instilling confidence in my students. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring new ideas, which further enriches my teaching methodology. I am dedicated to fostering a supportive environment where students can express themselves and thrive academically.
