Experience
I believe in listening to my students needs, because that way I am better able to understand their skills when it comes to problem solving, as well as how they express themselves. I try to center my teaching style around the needs of the student. I believe if I can understand wherein the struggle lies, I will be able to help them more. I then design our tutoring session around their struggles.I am a writer, and I love to work with students and show them how to express and put their thoughts into compelling essays that grab and hold the reader's attention. I am also a filmmaker, and I believe all students should experience an education that is rich in the arts.I tutor students in Reading, Writing, Essay Editing, Phonics, Literature, Grammar and Mechanics, College Essays, Public Speaking, Fiction Writing, British Literature, Violin, Music, Literary Analysis, Vocabulary, Creative Writing, Introduction to Fiction, Regents, American Literature, and a variety of test prep, including the SSAT, PSAT, and SAT. I graduated with my bachelor's degree from Barnard College, Columbia University, where I majored in English Literature. In my free time, I love to write, play the violin, and go running.
