My academic work involved extensive analytical writing across disciplines, including literary analysis, economics research papers, and data-driven projects, which required developing clear arguments, working with complex sources, and refining writing through multiple drafts.

I am an incoming M.A. student in English at New York University and a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I double majored in Economics and English and earned a 3.75 GPA. My academic work involved extensive analytical writing across disciplines, including literary analysis, economics research papers, and data-driven projects, which required developing clear arguments, working with complex sources, and refining writing through multiple drafts.

At Wesleyan, I worked as both a teaching assistant and a peer tutor, supporting students in courses with a strong emphasis on writing and analysis. In these roles, I worked with students in one-on-one and small-group settings, helping them improve the clarity, structure, and precision of their work. I have experience working with students at different levels, particularly high school and college students, and I am comfortable adapting my approach based on each student’s needs.

My tutoring approach focuses on building lasting skills rather than short-term fixes. For writing, I work with students to develop strong arguments, organize their ideas effectively, and refine their voice through revision. For SAT reading and writing, I emphasize strategy and pattern recognition so students can approach passages with confidence. I aim to create structured, interactive sessions where students are actively engaged and leave with clear direction on how to continue improving.

Approved Subjects

English

English

I help students become more confident and effective readers and writers by focusing on clarity, structure, and critical thinking. Whether it’s improving grammar, organizing essays, or developing stronger reading comprehension, I work with students to build skills step by step in a way that feels manageable and engaging. I tailor each session to the student’s level and goals, helping them not just complete assignments, but understand how to express their ideas clearly and independently.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I am an incoming M.A. student in English at New York University and a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I developed extensive experience in analytical and academic writing. I have worked as both a teaching assistant and peer tutor, helping students improve essay structure, clarity, and argumentation. I specialize in college application essays and advanced writing, guiding students from brainstorming through final drafts. My approach focuses on building strong, independent writing skills rather than just editing for quick fixes.
Literature

Literature

I specialize in helping students understand and analyze literature in a clear, structured way. I focus on close reading, identifying themes, and developing strong interpretations supported by textual evidence. Whether we’re working on classic texts or modern works, I help students move beyond summary to deeper analysis and stronger writing. I also support essay development—from brainstorming and outlining to drafting and revision—so students can communicate their ideas effectively and confidently.
SAT Reading

SAT Reading

I received a perfect score on my SAT grammar section and a 770 on English overall
SAT Writing

SAT Writing

I help students prepare for the SAT by teaching clear, repeatable strategies for both the Reading and Writing sections. My approach focuses on understanding how the test works—how to identify question types, avoid common traps, and use evidence effectively—so students can improve both accuracy and timing. I tailor sessions to each student’s starting point and goals, whether they’re building foundational skills or aiming to raise their score significantly. I also emphasize understanding why answers are correct so students can apply the same strategies across the entire test.
