Hello! I'm Sylvie, a PhD student in English literature at UC Riverside and an experienced tutor, with over three years of experience working with students of all ages. I specialize in writing support, reading comprehension, local + global feedback, public-facing work, and critical thinking across subjects--with additional support for executive functioning, time management, and confidence building.
Parents often tell me they're looking for a tutor who can build both skills and confidence--and that's exactly what I aim to do. I bring a trauma-informed, neurodivergence-aware approach to every session, creating a calm, structured, and encouraging space for students to grow. Whether your student is struggling with an English class, preparing college application essays and work for competitive writing programs, or looking to strengthen their writing more generally, I tailor each session to their needs and learning style. I believe every student deserves a calm, encouraging space to grow, and I meet each learner exactly where they are.
My academic background spans literature, law, and environmental studies, so I'm also happy to support interdisciplinary projects and advanced learners. Whether your student needs help planning and revising an essay, preparing for AP tests, or simply building writing stamina, I provide thoughtful, effective support--and I work hard to make each session both structured and motivating.
Feel free to reach out with questions or to set up an introductory session. I'd love to support your student!
