As a first generation student, I’m most interested in helping others put together their college and graduate school applications. I’m also able to tutor to help better a student’s reading comprehension skills, their writing, and prepare for AP exams (particularly for AP English and European History). I’m very flexible with my hours, and if I am unable to do in person meetings I can gladly tutor over zoom.

I’m an incoming English PhD student at the University of California, Los Angeles (originally I’m from NYC and am home for the summer) and graduated with a BA in English Language and Literature from Boston College, with honors. I also come from a bilingual home and incorporate a lot of language study into my work, which gives me the ability to be a language tutor for English as well. I am fluent in Spanish and have reading proficiency in Italian.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I received a BA in English Language and Literature from Boston College where I completed writing intensive coursework and successfully finished an honors critical thesis. While at Boston College I also worked as an undergraduate research fellow and helped one of my professors edit their upcoming work. I am now in the first stage of my PhD program at UCLA.
Thesis Writing

Thesis Writing

As an undergraduate student I was accepted into the honors program where I had to write a critical thesis. For my thesis, I had to design my own rubric for each chapter and picked my own primary and secondary sources. I was essentially my own “project manager.” My thesis (which comprised of an introduction chapter, three primary chapters, and a coda for a total of 85 pages) received an A, the highest grade that can be given for a thesis.
