"I’m a high school AP English teacher who specializes in guiding students to success in English, writing, and reading. I have a bachelor's degree in English from Mount Holyoke and a master's degree in the teaching of English from Teachers College, Columbia University. I've also been in the secondary classroom for over a decade, teaching students of all ability levels.

In addition to teaching experience, I worked as a professional editor and writer in the magazine publishing industry, so I know what compelling prose looks like.

I take this combined experience into tutoring sessions, tailoring my work and approach to the student with whom I'm working. Whether we're tackling a tough piece of literature, brushing up on grammar skills for the SAT, or crafting an authentic college essay, I take an empathetic, warm, encouraging approach with high standards. Students I have worked with have been admitted to schools including Barnard, Lehigh, Fordham, and Clemson." less...
