"I'm currently based in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and I've been tutoring full time since the start of the pandemic. I started tutoring when I was 15, but 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 30 students in History and/or Political Science; 40 students in writing, rhetorical and literary analysis, and reading comprehension; 10 students in pre-algebra, algebra, and SHSAT prep; and 8 students in English-as-a-second-language.

My students range in age (middle school students to middle-aged adults), and I cover a wide variety of topics. I tutor SHSAT prep, middle school math, algebra, and geometry, as well as social sciences and humanities subjects. 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...
