"I am an Evolutionary Biology PhD candidate with a liberal arts background and a passion for writing. I hold a BA in Biology and Environmental Studies from Middlebury College and an MS in Biology from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, and have received numerous awards for my writing and research, including a Fulbright Award. Over the course of my 5+ years as a private tutor and academic editor, I have helped hundreds of clients achieve their writing goals, spanning assignments that include high-school essays, college admissions essays, and top-tier scientific articles published in Nature and Science.

My teaching style incorporates lessons learned from years of working in education, research, and academic editing. Not only do I guide my students on the essentials of concise, structured, and intellectually compelling writing, but I also help them incorporate their own authentic voices across both academic and personal assignments. After working with me to improve their application essays, some of my most recent students have gone on to gain entry in top-tier programs, such as NYU Tisch and USC Film School.

Having lived and worked for 5 years in Spain, I also have bilingual fluency in Spanish and enjoy working with students to improve their Spanish speaking and writing skills. I am also happy to accommodate lessons in Spanish regardless of the subject.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or specific tutoring requests—I love getting to know new students and am happy to accommodate flexible or irregular hours!" less...
