Experience
My name is Lauren and I'm currently a Ph.D. candidate in the University of California-Berkeley's English department. I'm back in New York City as I work on my dissertation. I'm experienced in tutoring and teaching students in English, French, writing, essay editing, literature, and history. I studied for a year at the Sorbonne in Paris, and I am fluent in French. I continue to do freelance writing and am constantly perfecting my own writing; I am also stress writing, editing, and rewriting to all my students. Recently, one of my students won the annual essay contest that is sponsored by the English department at UC-Berkeley, among some very tough competition. I love working with students on test preparation and test strategies. I received a perfect verbal score on my SAT, and consistently scored in the 99th percentile on the verbal section of every standardized test I took. I work hard to help my students learn all the tricks of the tests, and do my best to help them feel prepared and comfortable so they can achieve their target scores.In my free time, I'm enjoying being back in NYC and getting reacquainted with the city. When I'm at home, I love to cook, read, and work on my own writing.
