Stanford English Grad Here to Help You Win!

Maja B.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Stanford University. My education has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of various subjects, advanced critical thinking skills, and highly effective learning strategies. This strong academic foundation has been instrumental in my success as a tutor.

I have 15 years of experience helping students succeed. My approach is highly personalized and focuses on empowering students to become independent and enthusiastic learners. I don't just teach subjects; I teach students how to learn.

My experience spans a wide range of needs and subjects, including:

English Language Arts (Elementary, Middle, and High School): I provide comprehensive support across all levels, covering Reading Comprehension, Writing Skills, Literature Analysis, and Vocabulary and Grammar.

English as a Second Language (ESL): I help students develop strong communication skills, fostering confidence in their language abilities.

Standardized Test Preparation (SAT/ACT): I guide students through effective test-taking strategies, content mastery, and time management to maximize their scores.

College Essays and Admissions Writing: Leveraging my background in English, I work with students to craft compelling personal statements and application materials that highlight their unique strengths and aspirations, significantly boosting their chances of admission.

Academic Skills Development: Beyond specific subjects, I integrate essential skills such as confidence training, strategies to overcome procrastination, and methods for staying organized with schoolwork. My goal is to transform struggling students into ambitious, excelling learners, and to help already high-achieving students maintain and further elevate their success.
