I am an English and Communications professor with almost 15 years experience teaching college and high school. I support students through the entire college application process, from selecting classes freshman year of HS, to enrolling in meaningful summer programs, navigating extracurriculars, and developing a personal project that makes the student stand out amongst a pool of competitive peers. While curating a powerful and creative essay is not the sole component of the college application, it is certainly a major factor in one's chance for success and can really be the "make or break" factor. With my background in English literature and composition, I am able to guide students as they curate meaningful and creative essays, including multiple rounds of revisions, feedback, and final edits. My clients have been accepted into many top tier universities including Columbia, NYU, Cornell, Duke, Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins University, Yale, Wake Forest, and UMich.
Standardized Test Tutoring: I support students in tackling the challenges of the SAT & ACT, bolstering their chances of being accepted into competitive colleges. In tutoring, I focus on understanding and identifying distractor answers, test-taking strategies, and learning essential content to raise scores significantly. My students consistently reach their goals and, in turn, elevate their chances of acceptance! What makes my approach unique from other tutors is my focus on making thinking visible, a process required for success on all standardized tests. I am also known for making sessions fun and engaging and inspiring students with my passion for writing and literature and my keen awareness of standardized test-making tactics.
Educational Background: I hold a Masters Degree in the Teaching of English from Columbia University and am currently finishing a graduate program in English Literature at NYU.
