I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science on the Data & Modeling track from the University of Rochester, with minors in Economics and Italian Language. My academic training emphasized quantitative reasoning, applied statistics, econometrics, and analytical writing, alongside coursework in game theory and computational social science. I currently work as a statistical researcher, where I conduct large-scale data analysis using government records and applied statistical methods. This background allows me to tutor economics, statistics, political science, research methods, and academic writing with a strong balance of theory and real-world application.

I have formal teaching experience as a Teaching Assistant for Principles of Economics at the University of Rochester, where I led weekly discussion sections and office hours for undergraduate students. I worked one-on-one and in small groups to explain core economic concepts, guide students through quantitative problem sets, and prepare them for exams. My tutoring approach is structured, patient, and tailored to each student’s level and goals, with a focus on breaking down complex material into clear, manageable steps. I have experience working with high school and college-level students and aim to help them build both subject mastery and long-term confidence in their analytical skills.

Approved Subjects

Data Analysis

Data Analysis

I am a trained data analyst with a background in political science, economics, and applied statistics, specializing in real world data analysis and interpretation. I work with large, messy datasets, including government records, using tools such as R, Python, SQL, Excel, and Tableau to perform statistical analysis, regression modeling, and data visualization. My experience includes applied econometrics, descriptive and inferential statistics, and translating complex results into clear, actionable insights. I focus on helping students understand both how to analyze data and why specific methods are used in practice.
Debate

Debate

I have extensive training in argumentation, logic, and persuasive communication through my academic work in political science, economics, and formal modeling. My experience includes constructing, analyzing, and critiquing arguments in written and oral formats, with an emphasis on evidence-based reasoning and clear structure. I help students develop skills in case construction, rebuttal, cross-examination, and public speaking. My approach focuses on clarity, confidence, and strategic thinking in both competitive debate and academic discussion.
Government & Politics

Government & Politics

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science with a specialization in data and modeling, alongside a minor in Economics and advanced coursework in applied mathematics. My academic work focuses on formal political theory, game theory, voting behavior, institutions, and political economy, with extensive experience in quantitative analysis and research design. I have conducted independent research projects involving real-world political data, statistical modeling, and policy analysis, including work on elections, referenda, and government accountability. I emphasize clear explanation of complex political concepts, helping students connect theory to contemporary political systems and real-world outcomes.
Italian

Italian

I hold a minor in Italian Language with formal academic training in grammar, composition, reading, and conversational Italian. I come from a family where Italian is spoken regularly, giving me lifelong exposure to the language in both formal and informal contexts. I have lived in Italy at different points throughout my life and also studied there through an exchange program, allowing me to develop strong practical fluency and cultural competency through daily immersion. This background enables me to teach Italian with an emphasis on real-world communication, cultural context, and confidence in speaking, reading, and writing.
Political Science

Political Science

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science with a specialization in data and modeling, supported by a minor in Economics and advanced coursework in applied mathematics. My academic focus includes political theory, comparative institutions, voting behavior, political economy, and formal modeling using game theory and statistical analysis. I have conducted independent and coursework-based research involving real political datasets, quantitative methods, and policy evaluation. I help students build strong conceptual foundations while developing analytical and writing skills needed for political science coursework and research.
Statistics

Statistics

I have extensive coursework in statistics through my degree in Political Science and minor in Economics, with a strong emphasis on probability, hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and statistical inference. I regularly work with real-world datasets, applying statistical methods to analyze social science, economic, and policy questions. My experience includes interpreting statistical results, explaining concepts clearly, and helping students understand both the mathematics and intuition behind statistical techniques. I focus on building confidence by breaking down complex ideas into structured, step-by-step explanations.
United States History

United States History

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and a minor in Economics, with extensive coursework in United States history, political institutions, and policy development. My background emphasizes connecting historical events to broader political, economic, and social trends, including constitutional development, federalism, civil rights, and modern governance. I have experience analyzing primary and secondary historical sources and helping students strengthen essay writing, document-based questions (DBQs), and exam preparation skills. I focus on clear explanations and historical reasoning to help students understand both facts and historical causation.
