I have extensive experience supporting students in writing and research. Over the past several years, I have worked as a writing tutor and teaching associate in one-on-one settings. I also have some experience as a Teaching Associate where I taught my own composition classes. My approach centers on understanding each student’s unique learning style and challenges, whether they are mastering academic writing, navigating research projects, or developing critical analysis skills.

I have tutored a diverse range of students, including high schoolers and college undergraduates and graduates, many of whom are bilingual or returning to education after a break. I often work with students who face challenges such as language barriers or anxiety around academic work. My method is collaborative and supportive. I encourage students to build confidence through structured guidance, breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps, and offering personalized strategies to improve their writing and critical thinking.

Additionally, I am comfortable tutoring writing and composition in Spanish, providing bilingual support to students who benefit from learning in their preferred language. I also emphasize inclusivity and mental wellness in my sessions, aiming to create a positive and patient space for learning. I offer flexible scheduling, a free initial consultation, and sliding scale rates to ensure tutoring is accessible to those who need it.
