"I am pursuing a BS in English Ed. and a minor in Creative Writing at New York University. I graduated from Stuyvesant, NYC's top specialized high school, with a 626 SHSAT score, 97.1 GPA, 11 APs, and 1580 SAT. I received the National Merit Finalist Scholarship with a PSAT score of 1500/1520. I have prepped students for the SHSAT for the past 5 years and joined Wyzant in October 2024.

Mentoring expertise: Tutor and Program Director for an SHSAT prep program for 4 years. Coach for Cosmic Writers, mentoring students looking to improve their fiction writing skills. NYU Welcome Leader and Residence Hall Office Assistant, building morale for and supporting new students.

English expertise: Intern at Tessler Literary Agency, preparing manuscripts for submission to publishers. Descriptive Copywriter for Jim Dandy Publishing, writing copy for marketing. Reader for Flash Fiction Magazine, evaluating submissions for lit mag publication. Published in multiple literary magazines.

For math, I guide students through Khan Academy practice questions with my own guidance. This strengthens students' foundations before having them redo incorrectly answered questions. When students can now solve questions they struggled with before, they see concrete growth.

For ELA, I teach "epiphanies": tangible realizations that help accurately approach questions consistently. There are tricks to hack reading and writing: breaking down practice questions with a formulaic approach, applying poetry analysis strategies to prose. I am a firm believer in teaching essay and creative writing strategies early on; younger students can grasp college-level writing strategies too. I am also happy to mentor tutees in submitting their pieces to literary magazines.
