I am an English professor, college advisor, and tutor with almost 15 years of experience teaching college and high school. I support students through the entire college application process, from selecting classes freshman year of HS, to enrolling in meaningful summer programs, navigating extracurriculars, and developing a personal project that makes the student stand out among a pool of competitive peers.
While curating a powerful and creative essay is not the sole component of the college application, it is certainly a major factor in one's chance for success and can really be the "make or break" factor. With my background in English literature and composition, I am able to guide students as they curate meaningful and creative essays, including multiple rounds of revisions, feedback, and final edits. My clients have been accepted into many top tier universities including Columbia, NYU, Cornell, Yale, Duke, Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins University, Wake Forest, and UMich.
Standardized Test Tutoring
I support students in tackling the challenges of the SAT and ACT, bolstering their chances of being accepted into competitive colleges. I focus on understanding and identifying distractor answers, test-taking strategies, and learning essential content to raise scores significantly. What makes my approach unique from other tutors is my focus on making thinking visible and ensuring sessions engaging and inspiring.
My approach provides strategic guidance on selecting summer programs, extracurriculars, and personal projects that help students stand out in a pool of competitive peers. In my SAT and ACT tutoring, I focus on making thinking visible to help students dismantle distractor answers and master test-making tactics. My sessions are known for being fun and engaging, rooted in a genuine passion for literature and bolstered by my Masters Degree in the Teaching of English from Columbia University and my ongoing graduate studies in English Literature at NYU.
