Experience

Dear Prospective Students and Parents, Thank you for visiting my profile. I am pleased to be offering my skills as a writer to help you with excel in your education. I am a graduate of one of the University of Chicago, a working researcher in the social sciences, and an award-winning writer. I am also an experienced teacher and tutor, so I know how to communicate my skills to others. After six weeks with me, your grades will improve, your writing be strong and clear, and you will be much closer to your goals—whether those involve passing a high school entrance exam, gaining admission to the college of your choice, or simply learning more efficiently. I have worked as an SAT Verbal instructor for the Princeton Review for several years, taught English in the Czech capital of Prague, and taught anthropology at the university level at Baruch College. My SAT scores were 700 in Math and 740 in Verbal. Please contact me through this site to begin a conversation about your learning needs.

Hobbies

I'm a professional writer with publications in Vanity Fair, the Brooklyn Rail, and YES! Magazine. Mostly I write about issues I care passionately about, such as the environment, technology, and arts and culture in New York City. I'm also an electronic musician, and design my own circuits with parts and a soldering iron. I have a bright sense of humor and have learned over the years that school performance and intelligence don't always go hand in hand. This helps me to lighten the feel of classes. Making mistakes just means you need to change your approach; it doesn't mean you're any less smart.
