"I'm based in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and I've been tutoring full time for five years. I've been tutoring since I was in high school myself, and I've come back to it again and again because I love learning and working with students. In addition to assistant-teaching English, History, and Biology classes in 2018-2019 in a bilingual program in Madrid, Spain, I have individually tutored over 150 students. I work with students studying history (and in particular AP US history, AP world history, and other advanced high school courses), political science, writing, rhetorical and literary analysis, and reading comprehension, pre-algebra, algebra, SHSAT prep, geometry, algebra ll, pre-calculus, SAT and ACT prep.

My students range in age (middle school students to middle-aged adults), and I cover a wide variety of topics. I often teach students how to analyze historical sources and write for history classes; I teach and review beginner, intermediate, and advanced essay skills; I offer college essay assistance and much more. I love when I can show a student what they are capable of achieving and help them develop their own confidence. I also believe that fit matters when it comes to tutoring, and I'm happy to consult over the phone with students or parents before an official lesson.

When it comes to test prep and application essays, the process can be tedious - so I try to keep my students motivated, to make tutoring a positive experience, and to help them build widely applicable skills. I think it's important to get students engaged through challenging activities, value their input, and address their anxieties around learning and grading/scoring." less...
