As a passionate educator with a Master's in Education from Johns Hopkins University, I have years of tutoring experience, specializing in college application essays and SAT verbal writing. My teaching philosophy embraces an individualized, interdisciplinary approach, allowing students to draw on their unique experiences and interests as they develop their academic narratives. I take great joy in helping students find their voice in personal storytelling, guiding them through the complexities of articulating their journeys with clarity and confidence. My former role as a teacher and admissions professional provides me with valuable insights into university expectations, enabling me to tailor my support effectively. Outside of tutoring, I am passionate about exploring literature and languages, which enriches my teaching and fosters meaningful connections with students from diverse backgrounds.
