"I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with my PhD in English in 2023. Before that, I graduated from Princeton University with a degree in English (honors) in 2017, as well as certificates in African American Studies and Gender Studies.

I have 10 years of tutoring experience and enjoy watching students grow into critical readers and writers. Before entering graduate school, I taught at an after school program for middle school and high school students where I created and taught a class on history and literature.

Elementary: Using the phonics method, I work with K-5th grade students on reading fluency and comprehension, writing, and spelling. I use materials such as digital flashcards, digital worksheets, phonics games, and I have a collection of over 400 children's books, some of which are digital. Methods align with Common Core State Standards.

Middle: I offer feedback on written homework assignments and help students organize their writing and strengthen grammar, diction and style. I also teach literary analysis.

High school: In addition to the same services I provide for middle school students, I work with high school students who are conducting research for papers by teaching research methods & writing. For students who don't want help with specific assignments but want guidance in fostering a love for literature, I have my own literature curriculum and writing activities with a college-prep focus.

College: I have experience in grading and providing feedback on written work for college students at all levels." less...
