"I am a PhD student in literature and cultural studies, and I love helping students discover their voice through writing and critical thinking. My graduate work has given me a strong foundation in academic writing, research, and literary analysis, and I enjoy sharing those skills in a way that feels clear, practical, and approachable. I aim to help students feel confident in their work while building skills they can carry forward in all their classes.

Over the past several years, I have taught and mentored students in both classroom and one-on-one settings. I have worked with high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, guiding them through essay writing, literary analysis, and research assignments. I focus on providing clear, actionable feedback, helping students organize their ideas, strengthen their arguments, and revise their work with confidence. I enjoy tailoring my approach to each student’s needs and learning style so that sessions feel productive and engaging.

In tutoring, I take a supportive, student-centered approach. I help students break assignments into manageable steps, tackle challenges without feeling overwhelmed, and gain skills that extend beyond a single paper or course. I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds, including first-generation and international students, and I aim to create a welcoming space where they feel heard, supported, and empowered to succeed academically." less...
