I graduated summa cum laude from Baruch with a degree in Artificial Intelligence Studies with a focus on Computer Ethics, which naturally extended itself into an MA in Digital Humanities, earned from the CUNY Graduate Center. My specialty was Digital Pedagogy, rendering me uniquely qualified to tutor online and create educational materials and resources for learners.
My pedagogical philosophy revolves around anticipating the needs of learners and customizing lessons for each individual student. I envision myself as a mentor in learning - someone who has a student's future in mind when designing lesson plans as well as their immediate learning needs. Tutoring, for me, is about creating a foundation for long-term success.
I aim to create and foster a safe space for learning about reading, writing, editing, revision, and vocabulary. I am patient, understanding, and willing to learn from my students, who I consider co-authors of knowledge. I look forward to helping you learn.
