"For the last 15 years I have been a private academic coach in New York City and Los Angeles. I specialize in the humanities, with a focus on analytical reading and writing. Over the course of my time doing this work, I have become especially interested in helping students develop the executive functioning skills needed to reach their full potential. Specifically, I work with students to construct organizational systems so that homework and studying become automatic. If a student has had a neuropsychological evaluation, I follow the recommendations of their psychologist and work with them to implement a learning plan that is effective and efficient. I received a BA from Middlebury College, graduating Cum Laude with Honors in English and American Literatures, and I hold an MFA in acting from the American Repertory Theater at Harvard University. Throughout my time in New York I coached baseball, working with after school programs and travel teams. In the summer of 2014, I had the good fortune to serve as Site Director for the New York Yankees Youth Summer Baseball Camps, having been head coach of the Rookie Division the summer before. Today, when I am not tutoring or acting, I am playing soccer, surfing or searching L.A. in vain for a bagel that compares with the best of New York." less...
