I began tutoring in middle school, helping my peers at the library, and I’ve continued ever since. Throughout high school, I dedicated time each week to assist my classmates after school, while also working with elementary school students. These early experiences deepened my passion for teaching, and as an aspiring educator, I find genuine joy in helping others learn.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in History and Law and Middle Eastern Politics from the American University of Paris, where I also tutored students through the university’s lab program. Currently, I’m pursuing my Master’s in Public Policy at the University of Maryland, where I serve as a teaching assistant for a class of over 100 students. These diverse teaching experiences, ranging from one-on-one sessions to large classroom settings, have strengthened my ability to adapt my approach to meet each student’s needs.

I’m particularly skilled in standardized test preparation and academic writing. I received a perfect score on the SAT English section and scored 5s on several AP exams, including AP Government, AP U.S. History, AP Art History, and AP Comparative Politics. I also graduated from the IB program, so I’m well-versed in writing internal assessments and navigating IB exams. I focus on making material digestible and helping students develop independent study skills. Each session is tailored with a structured plan and resources to guide students toward academic success.

ACT English

I scored a perfect score on both the IB Literature and Language exam and the SAT English section, demonstrating a strong command of reading comprehension, grammar, and writing skills. I have successfully helped students improve their ACT English scores, with documented success in boosting confidence and performance. I specialize in working with diverse learners, including students for whom English is not their first language, helping them excel in grammar, sentence structure, and critical reading. As a graduate assistant, I also work closely with college students, guiding them through complex writing assignments and improving their academic writing skills.

French

French

I completed four semesters of French while also living in France, which allowed me to immerse myself in both formal written French and conversational, everyday French, along with exposure to various regional dialects. I also taught English to French students in Paris, which involved using both languages to facilitate understanding and communication. As a tutor, I taught French 1 to students, helping them develop their reading, writing, and speaking skills. My experience includes creating personalized lesson plans to cater to different learning styles and helping students build confidence in their language abilities. I am also adept at assisting students with pronunciation, grammar, and conversational fluency, ensuring they are comfortable using French in various contexts.
