...each improvement I could make; over the course of a year, I self-studied from a 21 to a 34 and even had fun doing it! With that score I was able to attend Columbia University where I received two BAs: one in Archaeology and the other in Classics with a focus on Latin. In each step of my educational journey, I have been interested in accessibility and have been passionate about spreading information as widely...

...from the University of Iowa's Playwright's Workshop where I received my MFA in playwriting. Prior to my time in Iowa, I attended the University of Chicago and earned a Masters in English Literature with a focus on the long 18th century and Romanticism (so think Byron, Shelley, Frankenstein, and Jane Austen). My undergrad degree is from Boston College, and I graduated Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa majoring in English and Theater Arts. I...

I have worked in various capacities, including as an assistant in the Athletic Department and as a mentor with Girls Who Code and CodeNation, where I developed and taught coding lessons.

Outside of academia I love to read as previously stated, bake, hike, dance, paint, do yoga, watch movies and tv shows, picnic, go bike riding, travel, and have intellectual conversations on current events. I am very passionate about education and that is why I have worked so much in this field from teaching English as a second language to tutoring to working as an afterschool care facilitator. I look forward to continuing...

I am a first generation college graduate and I currently working on returning back to school to receive my law degree. I enjoy teaching others and working with individuals who may come from the same background like myself!

...understood teaching to be less about the introduction of new knowledge, then creative ways of re-appropriating what we already know. In short, I became a fan of recycling, finding out what my students knew (always a surprising amount), what worked for them, and then coming up with improved ways of merging those effective strategies (at writing an essay with a thesis statement, for instance) with what were time-tested and worked well for me. As a...

...community; I hosted readings and won literary prizes from UConn and Mount Holyoke. I also worked for the University Writing Center. Working with students one-on-one, informed by faculty guidance and frequent workshops, I developed a tutoring style that focuses on collaboration and flexibility. No matter the subject, I believe that we learn best when we discover for ourselves, and forget when we are lectured. I spend my spare time reading, writing, talking, listening, and trying...

...my passion for education (as well as my passion for flan). When I got back to the US, I decided I wanted to try some other fields before I committed to education. I worked for two and a half years as Spanish-English medical interpreter helping Spanish-speaking patients communicate with their doctors. After that, I worked for an immigration lawyer. Both of these jobs were incredible experiences, but I found the things I got most excited...

I also like tutoring test prep subjects to share my tips and tricks. You'll probably hear a sports analogy or two while working with me :) I like mixing up my tutoring style to engage students and hope to learn...

...one's first and second languages, which is why I specialize in German and English. Reaching educational goals is something I highly value in myself as well as others. I find tutoring to be a fulfilling and rewarding experience for both parties involved, and I take great pride in enriching students who are struggling with their academic pursuits. Most of all, I believe learning should be fun! When I am not tutoring, I spend my time...

...how every individual deserves a quality education. Subsequent to my time in Boston, I moved to the Bronx where I immediately sought to connect with the community through volunteering as a tutor at Mexican American Students Alliance and teaching a NYS English Regents class full time at a charter high school. Throughout my career as a high school teacher, I also tutored students in various English-related subjects, including SAT Writing and Reading, AP English Literature,...

...team, as well as wedding dances to private couples. I am also a freelance writer and am working on learning a fourth language, Spanish. In my observation, languages and writing skills are poorly taught in many schools, leaving students frustrated and unprepared for further learning. The improvement I see in my students, however, is immensely rewarding. With a little guidance, everyone has the ability not only to boost their test scores, but also to set...

I hope I can share this passion and create tutoring sessions that are as engaging as they are informative. With...

At only 14 years old, I started...

...Many of these students were ESL learners who were simultaneously struggling with learning disabilities and/or hearing impairment. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my primary passion is languages, including Spanish, French and Italian, and as an avid reader, I also enjoy Literature and English. I find it exciting to see that spark of joy in a child's eyes when teaching young students, as they grasp a new concept or ascend to a higher...
