"I began tutoring in the Fall of 2017 at St. Martin De Porres Academy in New Haven, helping low-income students complete their homework and college applications. My interest in tutoring was instantly piqued, so —in addition to continuing my volunteering— I started my Wyzant career with my first student in 2018. Since then, I have helped a diverse set of students with all their tutoring needs, whether perfecting college application essays, becoming subject matter experts on 19th-century European Politics, or mastering a repertoire of chess openings. Throughout, I have maintained a perfect 5-star rating on Wyzant.
It is a joy to get “lost” in the subject. My students can expect spirited sessions because I only tutor the subjects I love. I can talk for hours about contemporary U.S. Politics, often overlooked aspects of WWII, or the importance of a hook in an introductory paragraph.
I’m knowledgeable, professional, capable, and most importantly, easygoing. As a recent college grad, I have a different perspective and skill set than most tutors that allows me to really connect with young people. It’s not uncommon for students to come to me after failing to “click” with another tutor.
Besides my demeanor, my success as a teacher comes from my ability to flexibly and tailor my lesson plan to each student's needs. You will definitely not have a "stuffy," overly formal, or "cookie-cutter" session with me!

Outside of tutoring, I work a “day job” in Analytics and Strategy for a Fortune 10 Company." less...
