"My name is Maya and I’m a recent graduate of Columbia University’s Dual Degree Program, through which I earned one degree in Psychology while studying abroad and a second in Political Science at Columbia. I have extensive experience working with children, both as a long-time babysitter and as a tutor. Over the past year, I have tutored middle school students one-on-one in math, both in person and via Zoom. I am passionate about helping students build academic confidence, excel in their studies, and develop the skills they need to succeed.

Additionally, I’ve always been passionate about writing and am especially happy to support students with essay preparation, including school assignments and college application essays. I applied to college in the 2020–2021 admissions cycle and was accepted to Columbia University’s Dual Degree Program, Emory University, Northeastern University, the University of Miami, and Binghamton University. I received a 34 on the ACT and am happy to offer support with ACT preparation, including test-taking strategies and subject-specific review. During my time in college, I was involved in Columbia’s political publication and served as an editor for the Columbia Journal of Asia, which sharpened my research, writing, and editing skills - tools I bring into my tutoring approach." less...
