I am a high-achieving honors student with a strong academic background in English, writing, and the humanities, and I will be enrolling at Reed College in 2026 as a Political Science major at this highly selective institution. I have completed multiple Honors and Advanced Placement courses, including AP-level English and social science classes that emphasize close reading, analytical writing, and argument development. Through this coursework, I developed a strong command of essay structure, thesis development, and using evidence effectively, and I enjoy helping students gain confidence and clarity in their writing.
I have experience working with middle school and high school students in one-on-one tutoring settings, both informally and in structured academic support contexts. My tutoring has included essay revision, reading comprehension, exam preparation, and developing effective study habits. I tailor each session to the student’s learning style, breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps and teaching students how to approach assignments independently rather than relying on memorization or quick fixes.
As a tutor, I value patience, consistency, and clear communication. I understand that parents want to see progress and feel confident that their child is supported academically. I aim to create a structured yet encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions while also staying focused on their goals. Whether a student needs help improving grades, strengthening writing skills, or building academic confidence, my goal is for both students and parents to feel assured that tutoring time is productive, supportive, and effective.
