I have a strong academic foundation in both social studies and English, supported by my undergraduate studies at Columbia University where I focus on political science. My coursework has given me an in-depth understanding of history, government, and culture, as well as training in analytical writing and critical reading. This combination of disciplines equips me to guide students not only through the facts of social studies and literature but also through the skills of interpretation, argumentation, and expression that make learning these subjects valuable far beyond the classroom.
My tutoring experience includes working with peers and younger students on writing assignments, exam preparation, and building study strategies. I have helped students develop essays from initial outlines to polished final drafts, taught methods for approaching primary and secondary sources, and guided learners on how to connect historical context with broader themes. I focus on making complex topics understandable by breaking them into smaller, approachable steps and by encouraging active discussion rather than rote memorization. My approach is student-centered, adapting to each learner’s needs and learning style, whether they need help mastering grammar, improving reading comprehension, or analyzing historical events in depth.
I have worked with students ranging from middle school to college, and I understand the importance of tailoring lessons to meet different academic levels. With high school students, I emphasize building confidence and clear communication skills, while with college students I focus on strengthening research, argumentation, and critical analysis. My goal as a tutor is not just to help students complete assignments but to give them tools that make them stronger thinkers and more effective writers. I take pride in fostering curiosity and encouraging students to connect what they are learning in class to the world around them.
