Hi! I’m Estelle, a senior at Cornell University double majoring in Economics and Linguistics with a minor in Business. I have 7 years of experience tutoring French, as well as experience tutoring math and SAT preparation. I’ve also worked as a 7th-grade Spanish teaching assistant, giving me experience supporting students both in the classroom and one-on-one.

Languages have been a major part of both my academic and personal life. In addition to studying Linguistics at Cornell, I speak French, English, Italian, Spanish, and Mandarin, and I have also studied Hebrew. My background across several languages has given me a strong understanding of grammar, pronunciation, and the language-learning process from both a linguistic and a learner’s perspective.

I’m available to tutor topics including math, French, Spanish, ESL, English grammar, SAT preparation, and linguistics. I enjoy figuring out where a student’s understanding breaks down and explaining the material in a way that makes sense to them, rather than just getting them through one problem.

I’m happy to work with whatever materials a student already has, whether that’s following along with a school class, working through a textbook or assignments, or preparing for a test. My goal is to meet students where they are and help them feel confident working independently.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I’m an Economics major at Cornell University with experience tutoring math and a quantitative background extending through calculus, linear algebra, statistics, and econometrics. I’m comfortable helping students with Algebra 1 topics including equations and inequalities, functions, graphing, systems of equations, exponents, and polynomials. I focus on helping students understand the reasoning behind each step so they can apply it to new problems rather than relying on memorized procedures. I’m happy to follow a student’s school curriculum, textbook, homework, or upcoming exams and focus our sessions on the areas where they need the most support.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have experience tutoring math students and am currently studying Economics at Cornell University, where my quantitative background extends through calculus, linear algebra, statistics, and econometrics. I enjoy breaking down math concepts into clear, manageable steps and helping students understand why a method works rather than simply memorizing it. I’m happy to follow a student’s school curriculum, homework, or textbook and can provide additional practice when helpful.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I’m a Linguistics major at Cornell University with 7 years of language tutoring experience and a background learning and speaking multiple languages. I also took ESL classes myself while learning English, so I understand firsthand many of the challenges students face when learning to communicate confidently in a new language. Combined with my linguistics background, I can help with English grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, reading, writing, and conversation. I’m happy to work with a student’s existing materials or tailor sessions around the specific English skills they want to improve.
French

French

I have 7 years of experience tutoring French and have studied the language extensively both academically and independently. As a Linguistics major at Cornell, I have a strong background in language structure and grammar and enjoy helping students understand the patterns behind the language rather than relying solely on memorization. I can help with grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, conversation, reading, writing, and coursework at different levels. I’m also happy to follow a student’s existing class or textbook and tailor sessions to what they are currently learning.
Grammar

Grammar

I’m a Linguistics major at Cornell University with extensive coursework focused on how language and grammar are structured. My studies include syntax, morphology, phonology, historical linguistics, and language change, giving me a strong foundation for explaining not only what is grammatically correct, but why. I can help students with sentence structure, parts of speech, punctuation, grammatical analysis, and other English grammar concepts. I’m happy to work directly with a student’s class materials, assignments, or textbook and adapt to the level of grammar they’re studying.
Reading

Reading

I’m a Linguistics major at Cornell University with 7 years of tutoring experience, including SAT preparation. My background in linguistics and SAT tutoring has given me experience working closely with reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and analyzing how language conveys meaning. I can help students identify main ideas, interpret evidence, make inferences, and work through challenging passages. I’m happy to use assigned readings and school materials or provide additional practice based on a student’s needs.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I’m an Economics major at Cornell University with a strong quantitative background and experience tutoring SAT Math. My college coursework includes calculus, linear algebra, statistics, and econometrics, and I’m comfortable with the algebra, problem solving, data analysis, and geometry concepts tested on the SAT. I help students identify the types of questions that give them trouble, understand the underlying math, and develop more efficient approaches for test day. I’m happy to work from official SAT materials, a student’s existing prep resources, or targeted practice based on areas that need improvement.
