Bio

I am an undergraduate at Yale University, where I study Applied Mathematics and French and am an academic tutor. I have experience tutoring across a wide range of subjects and student ages, and I am passionate about helping students truly understand the material. I believe that this way of learning, instead of rote memorization, makes the content more enjoyable and applicable to future courses, tasks, or assessments.

I am an undergraduate at Yale University, where I study Applied Mathematics and French and am an academic tutor. I have experience tutoring across a wide range of subjects and student ages, and I am passionate about helping students truly understand the material. I believe that this way of learning, instead of rote memorization, makes the content more enjoyable and applicable to future courses, tasks, or assessments.

I was the valedictorian of my high school graduating class and was selected as a U.S. Presidential Scholar. Aside from my tutoring jobs at Yale, I have tutored in National Honor Societies across various subjects, taught young children how to read through the AmeriCorps non-profit Reading Partners, volunteered as a tutor in local community centers, taught individual piano lessons, helped students prepare for the SAT/ACT, and reviewed college application essays (including for a Harvard-bound student).

If you're looking for a dedicated, experienced tutor, please reach out to schedule a lesson! Feel free to also ask for past students' reviews, as I tutored for many hours before joining Wyzant. I enjoy helping others learn and will respond quickly to any inquiries. I look forward to working with you!

Enjoyed working with Lily

My experience with Lily tutoring was pleasant. Lily demonstrated how to write a short summary and response, and helped me finish my assignment. Just one lesson taught me quite a few things, and I feel more confident about my writing skills. It was appreciated that she accommodated my schedule on such short notice.
