Hi, I'm Leah! I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Binghamton University on the pre-med track, earning a B.S in Biological Sciences and a B.A. in Spanish Language and Literature. I am now pursuing my Master's of Arts in Spanish at Binghamton University, and I expect to graduate in May 2026.

I have tutored students one-on-one and in small group settings for the past 4 years. I specialize in SAT/ACT prep, Spanish, Biology, Chemistry, Algebra, and essay writing tutoring, as well as college application consultations. The most impactful teachers throughout my education were those who instilled curiosity in me and were patient and encouraging. My goal is to do the same for my students, creating a supportive space for them to grow, feel comfortable asking questions, and be excited about learning.

I make my tutoring sessions enjoyable, engaging, and easy to follow. I am very patient and receptive to questions. I utilize lesson plans, integrate practice problems into my lessons, and tailor my lessons according to each student's learning style and preferences. I provide highly individualized lessons, helping students develop critical thinking and independent study skills that are not always covered in the classroom but are essential for long-term success.

I scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT and ACT, and I enjoy teaching effective test-taking strategies for these exams. I also love to write and help students through the essay-writing process. I provide constructive feedback, and guide my students through drafts until we reach a final, meaningful version. For college application assistance, I assist with essay writing/editing, creating college lists, resume building, and more.

Whether you're striving for a top SAT/ACT score, seeking to improve your Spanish skills, studying for a science exam, working on an essay, or applying to college, I am here to help you. Let's work together to achieve your goals! I am easy to reach and always respond promptly. Contact me with any questions or to schedule a lesson!

Amazing tutor - highly recommend!

Leah really relaxed my nerves associated with the SAT, especially the reading section. She simplified the information so that the questions were to the point.I have a new way of looking at this test, I don't feel as overwhelmed. In just one session, I have some test taking strategies that I never knew before and will build upon in future sessions.

Amazing SAT tutor!

Leah was a great tutor when it came to the Reading and Writing section of the SAT. She walked me through any missed questions or ones I had trouble on and clarified skills to better improve my comprehension and selection of correct answer choices. She even was generous enough to explain certain grammar patterns that are commonly found on the SAT. Leah is an extremely patient and knowledgeable tutor, I would I highly recommend her.

5/5 Stars!

Leah was so helpful, patient, and truly passionate in helping me with my geometry questions. She was always patient until when I was ready to move on to the next question and ensured that I understood each topic before moving on. No question was too small, she answered it great for me to understand. She helped my critical thinking skills a lot. She is definitely a 5/5 stars tutor. Additionally, she has a great work ethic and shows kindness. She reviewed my work before we had our session so she was prepared, and she was great to work with. If you are looking for a great tutor, you found one!

An Outstanding and Patient Tutor - I Highly Recommend!

Amazing lesson! Leah provided clear explanations and was very patient when I did not understand concepts. She is very friendly and made me feel comfortable asking questions. Leah genuinely cared about my progress and provided me with many practice questions to do in preparation for my Spanish final exam. She even checked in to see how my studying is going and if I need any help. Leah is thorough, organized, highly prepared, and has great communication. I highly recommend Leah - thank you for everything!
