I spent four years learning the best-practices in tutoring pedagogy while working at my college’s writing center. I specialized in helping students conduct research and write essays in the subjects of literature, history, philosophy, and religious studies. I also coached applicants as they wrote essays for grad school, med school, and Fulbright applications.
I honed my own skills in research, writing, and editing as a postgraduate in ancient history and religious studies. Simultaneously, I worked for professors, advisors, and academic departments as they researched, prepared manuscripts and articles, and developed coursework and conferences. As a tutoring fellow for the Prison Teaching Initiative, I trained, led, and collaborated with a team of over 30 tutors supporting incarcerated students in NJ.
I am an intuitive and adaptive tutor, seeking to learn as much about you and your learning style as I do about your work or project. Here are some values that animate my approach:
-Curiosity- Being your tutor doesn’t mean I have all the answers. It means I know how to ask questions that will help you find answers—in your own idiom and according to your own strengths.
-Empathy- Learning can be scary and overwhelming, especially when we need to ask for help. My priority in a tutoring session is making you feel safe and empowered in all the ways you show up in the learning process.
-Student-Centered- Learning is not one-size-fits-all and tutoring shouldn’t be either. In my tutoring practice, I attend to the needs of each student and will adapt our approach to work with your strengths.
-Accessibility- Everyone should be able to access knowledge and learn in the way that best supports them. In my tutoring sessions, we will work together to identify potential barriers and create the best ways for you to access learning.
My care for people and deep commitment to learning is at the core of my tutoring practice. When you work with me, I am committed to helping you thrive on your learning journey!
