I'm a recent Ivy League graduate with experience in international relations, U.S. government and politics, economics, and writing. My experience traveling, learning, and teaching English abroad has given me a unique perspective on the world that makes me an ideal tutor for any class in the social sciences.

I've studied government and international relations with some of the most respected scholars in the field, giving me an in-depth knowledge of the most pressing issues facing the world today. I graduated magna cum laude from Cornell University and was awarded the Sherman Bennett Prize for my thesis on corruption in the Russian Federation.

I have experience tutoring students at the middle school, high school, and college levels in English, writing, grammar, international relations, German, and economics.

I am proficient in both German and Russian and have spent time in both countries studying and volunteering.

I am patient, approachable, and engaging and I will do everything I can to help you succeed.

American History

It is my firm belief that to truly understand history, we must not only memorize dates and places but also understand the significance of historical events. It is this philosophy that informs my methods of tutoring American history. I have studied the subject with great interest at both the high school and college levels and would be eager to share my passion for it with students of all ages.

I am well-versed in all aspects of American history and am particularly interested in the... Read More

German

I studied German for four years and spent two summers studying abroad in both Berlin and the Rhineland. Additionally, I tutored German for two years in college and am well prepared to assist students at the beginner and intermediate levels improve their reading, writing, and speaking abilities.

Writing

Having spent my undergraduate career in a discipline that heavily emphasizes effective methods of communication, I have gained expertise in numerous styles of academic writing. I am well-versed in argument formation, structure, and tone, as well as several different citation styles (Chicago, MLA, etc.). Having recently completed my honors thesis at Cornell University, I am particularly well prepared to assist students with large research papers.

In addition to my expertise in academic... Read More

English

As an avid writer and lover of literature, I am well suited to help students excel in their English classes. I worked for three summers as an English teacher in a program for underprivileged middle school children. The experience helped to develop my expertise in teaching the fundamentals of grammar, syntax, and writing as well as imparting a love of reading to my pupils. I believe that the best English teachers are those who make stories come alive by illustrating their relevance to the lives... Read More

Government & Politics

As a recent graduate of Cornell University's government program, I am well prepared to tutor students in all aspects of political science. I have studied international relations, American government, comparative government, and political philosophy and am well-versed in the major theories and schools of thought in each sub-field.

I look forward to helping students understand the complexities of the international system, the delicate balance of power in the American government, and the... Read More

SAT Reading

Having achieved a perfect score on my own SAT reading section in 2007, I am well prepared to help students succeed. In addition to improving reading comprehension, I can help students better manage their time while taking standardized tests.

SSAT

Having taken the SSAT prior to attending Phillips Academy, I am well prepared to help students improve their scores. In addition to assisting students with the specific subjects covered by the test (reading comprehension, vocabulary, math, etc.), I can help them formulate effective time-management strategies to improve their test-taking skills in general.

Elementary Science

In addition to studying all three major branches of science (biology, chemistry, and physics) throughout my academic career, I greatly enjoy working with children. I am well prepared to help students not only improve their scientific knowledge, but also to find the joy in learning how the world around them works.

Russian

I studied Russian for four years at Cornell University and did volunteer work in Yaroslavl', a medium-sized city on the Volga river, during the summer of 2010. I am proficient in the language and able to help students at the beginner and intermediate levels improve their speaking, writing, reading, and comprehension skills.

Bible Studies

I have an extensive knowledge of both the Old and New Testaments that I have gained from studying the Bible both in church and in an academic setting. In addition to attending Sunday school from preschool to my senior year, I studied the New Testament in depth in a religious philosophy class, allowing me to examine the text of the Bible from a scholarly as well as a religious perspective.
