My background allows me to combine subject expertise with strong communication skills, patience, and a focus on building students’ confidence.

My tutoring style is supportive, goal-oriented, and highly personalized. I believe in breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps while encouraging critical thinking and independence. For writing and college applications, I help students discover their unique voice and effectively utilize their strengths. For younger students, I focus on engagement and skill-building through interactive and relatable activities. My goal is to always create a positive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and learning from them. Whether you’re looking to master course content, improve your writing, or prepare for the next academic step, I’m here to help you succeed." less...
