Experience
My tutoring forte is writing. I really enjoy watching a student's writing improve not only while working on a particular assignment, but also watching the growth of a student over the semester or school year. Since I have recently completed the college application process, I am able to help guide students with their own essay writing and editing. I can also help students improve their grammar and writing mechanics, increase their vocabulary, and develop expertise with different genres of writing, including poetry and persuasive essays.I like to take a collaborative approach when tutoring students. We work together to identify the current level of ability for the student. To make sure students are really grasping the content we discuss during our sessions, I create quizzes for the students. Then the student and I will review the results and further identify areas that may need improvement.I have experience tutoring students of all ages and I also have previously taught a test preparation course. I can assist students with ACT, SAT, PSAT, ISEE, and SSAT exam preparation.When I am not in school or tutoring, I enjoy reading, running, listening to retro music, and meditation.
