As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's in English, Software Engineering training, an AWS Solutions Architect certification, and over 10 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in college admissions and English. My core areas are Grammar, Writing (especially college essaysI love helping students shape their ideas into compelling application narratives), College English, SAT/ACT English, and ESL. I create a student-centered, inquiry-driven learning environment that promotes engagement and ownership; lessons are tailored to each student's goals so we can target weaknesses, build confidence, and strengthen application materials. I also bring practical tech experienceJavaScript and front-end developmentwhich I integrate into lessons when relevant. My ultimate goal is to help students discover and amplify their unique voices so they succeed academically and stand out in the college admissions process.
