Hi, my name is Lucy! I graduated with my master’s degree in English Literature from Columbia University and my master's degree in education from the University of Toronto. As a certified high school teacher, I have experience teaching all levels of English, including IB and AP English, as well as creative writing. I have tutored high school students and worked with students on their application essays to both undergraduate and graduate programs.

When it comes to application essay writing, I can help you craft essays that are strategic, persuasive, and authentic to your voice and your story. This is essential to stand out amidst a sea of other applicants, especially for competitive schools and programs. I can guide you through all the steps: from brainstorming to drafting to polishing the final piece. It's important to highlight your unique strengths, and I can help you dig deep and uncover what it is that will set you apart.

I can tutor all levels of high school English, and I also have expertise teaching speakers of other languages, having been certified through the University of Cambridge to teach English as a second language (ESL). In addition, I am skilled at teaching interview prep, as I have two years of experience working as a public speaking coach at a top debate and speech training center.

I am passionate about helping students build their self-confidence and achieve their dreams. Please reach out and I can help you succeed!
