Grade 6-12 English and History Tutor

Emmie B.

Hi! I’m Em, a junior at Cornell studying Industrial and Labor Relations on the pre-law track. As a current student, I can connect with students and engage them in the material, along with providing study and writing tips, many of which I currently employ in my own schoolwork.

Growing up in NYC, I am familiar with the high school process and teaching methods across grade levels. I have been tutoring since 9th grade, starting with elementary schoolers. Since then, I have worked with middle and high school students on English and History for grade-level classes, AP, and college essay prep. Additionally, I served as an assistant teacher for an AP Human Geography class, providing support in assigning, grading, and contributing feedback on classwork, essays, and exams. Throughout my high school experience, I excelled in 12 AP classes and served on the board of countless clubs, including Model UN founder and Newspaper Editor. This experience led to my current role as an editor of my college newspaper. I also created a service learning project through a leadership program and served as a research intern, focusing on the intersection of psychology and environmental studies.

My teaching methods are tailored to the students’ needs, with a focus on their areas of growth. My goal is to empower them to have the tools to feel confident in combining their knowledge of the topic and assignment requirements with essay writing skills. I have proven essay-writing formats for various courses and genres that I tailor for every student’s individual writing process.

I am offering lessons online throughout the school year. If the goal of the session is to edit an already written piece of work, kindly send a copy 24 hours in advance to ensure I can review it before our meeting.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a lesson. I look forward to working with you and your child!
