"I have been tutoring students for over 12 years both in the Rochester, NY area and online. I hold a B. A. in International Studies and minors in French and Asian Studies from Nazareth College of Rochester. I specialize in helping students with academic and research writing, students with attention and executive functioning challenges, and ESOL/international students. Cornerstones of my approach to tutoring include inclusive, empowering study strategies tailored to each learner, building critical thinking and research skills, and providing positive feedback and encouragement to boost self-esteem and confidence. I firmly believe in tutoring with a growth mindset, where learners practice self-compassion, value their strengths, and cultivate genuine excitement about their potential to improve.

I have experience working in high school, undergraduate, and informal afterschool and museum education environments. I have designed and taught curriculum for a wide range of ages in a variety of STEAM, ELA, and Social Studies/Political Science topics, including day camps, field trips, after school programs, and a virtual learning day program.

I have worked with many international students to complete high school diplomas, undergraduate, Master’s, and Ph.D. degrees and doctoral dissertations. I have helped advocate for students getting IEP and 504 plans for anxiety, ADHD, executive dysfunction, sensory processing challenges, and autism spectrum-related challenges, as well as adults navigating these challenges. I believe that every learner deserves the tools and supports they need to discover the joy of learning, and I am always ready to go to bat for my students when their needs are not being met.

My goal is not just to help your learner complete their academic work, but to help them develop skills and strategies that enable them to become resilient, confident, and proud of their progress. I want every learner to experience the fulfillment that comes from tapping into one’s own power and strength with optimism and joy." less...
