Hi there! My name is Julian, and I'm a recent graduate from Columbia University with majors in Film Studies and Political Science, where I earned a 4.0 GPA and Phi Beta Kappa honors.

Hi there! My name is Julian, and I'm a recent graduate from Columbia University with majors in Film Studies and Political Science, where I earned a 4.0 GPA and Phi Beta Kappa honors. My academic background best prepares me to tutor in American History, World History, Writing, Literature, Film, Journalism, and related fields. Additionally, I would love to help with SAT, ACT, and AP exam prep (1570 SAT; 5s on AP American History, AP World History, AP Language, and others).
Much of my coursework at Columbia took place in small seminars, where I learned to communicate ideas to peers through presentations, debates, and discussions. I would bring these communication skills -- plus a patient and relaxed personality -- to my tutoring work. In previous experiences tutoring friends, classmates, and collaborators, I have focused on building a strong relationship with the student and subsequently personalizing my teaching style. Everyone learns differently, and I take the time to cater my questions and material to each student. This might mean an emphasis on question-and-answer in some situations, and, in others, an emphasis on explaining material to the student. I hope to work together!
