Recent BA Graduate of Columbia University

Amine B.

I am an experienced researcher and editor whose work has been featured in publications such as the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies), where I co-published a piece of anthropology research ; The Columbia Review, the oldest collegiate literary magazine in the nation, in which I served as its Prose Editor ; and The Columbia Daily Spectator, where I've published pieces of journalism and cultural criticism. My skillset is primarily oriented towards essay editing, academic writing, and developing my students' argumentative reasoning, with a special focus on criticism. Likewise, the majority of students I've taught have been high school or college students, as well as early-career professionals looking to improve their English language skills. I am open to tutoring students of all age-groups, but am more qualified to teach the aforementioned demographics.

I graduated from Columbia University in 2025, where I earned my Bachelor's of Arts in Comparative Literature and Society--an interdisciplinary course of study that emphasizes the usage of literary theory and developing foreign language skills. My working languages were Arabic, French, and English, and I wrote my senior thesis on the Moroccan literary critic Abdelkebir Khatibi, for which I was awarded departmental honors. Outside of tutoring, I'll be working on a book project for the next year on Khatibi's work, and am always interested in speaking with students about how their interest in the language arts extends to their life outside of the classroom--whether it be through creative writing, or otherwise.
