I graduated from Cornell University with honors in History, where I completed a published honors thesis and consistently earned top marks in writing-intensive courses. My academic journey sharpened my ability to analyze complex material, construct persuasive arguments, and communicate ideas with clarity. Beyond my degree, I have also completed advanced coursework in the sciences, maintaining a near-perfect GPA while working full-time, which has strengthened both my discipline and teaching approach.
Over the past several years, I have worked with students ranging from high school through college on English, essay writing, and history. I began by helping peers at Cornell refine their research papers and essays, focusing on structure, clarity, and critical analysis. Since then, I have tutored high school students in AP History and English, guided undergraduates through challenging assignments, and supported applicants preparing essays for highly competitive college and graduate programs. My approach is highly individualized: I break large assignments into manageable steps, provide clear strategies for improving argumentation and flow, and build student confidence in their own voice.
I enjoy working with students at all levels, whether it is helping a high schooler prepare for a history exam, coaching a college student through a research paper, or guiding someone through the process of crafting a compelling personal statement. My goal is always the same—to help students not only complete assignments successfully, but also develop the skills to write and think critically long after our sessions end.

Classics

I graduated with honors from Cornell University, where I specialized in the study of the Classical world, including ancient Greece and Rome. My honors thesis examined unconventional warfare in antiquity and was selected for defense before a faculty panel, later published by the department. I have extensive experience analyzing primary sources, interpreting ancient texts, and connecting historical events to broader cultural and philosophical contexts. I enjoy helping students develop a deeper understanding of Classical history and literature while strengthening their critical reading and writing skills.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I earned my Bachelor’s degree with honors from Cornell University, where I completed a published thesis and excelled in writing-intensive coursework. I have several years of experience helping students strengthen their essays, from high school assignments to college research papers and competitive admissions applications. My expertise lies in guiding students through every stage of the writing process—brainstorming, outlining, drafting, and revision—while focusing on clarity, structure, and argumentation. I am passionate about helping students develop confidence in their writing and the ability to communicate their ideas effectively.
