Private tutor in Brooklyn, NY
Education
Columbia University in the City of New York - BA, English, Philosophy (Double Major)
Experience
I graduated from Columbia University with a bachelor of arts in philosophy and English. While enrolled, I tutored students to prepare them for the SATs, as well as to assist them in writing college and high school essays. I worked online teaching ESL courses for an India-based human rights group. Postgraduation, I traveled to Seoul, South Korea to work for a private school for a year. The experience further strengthened my preference for private one-on-one education. The benefits were far greater than those offered in a traditional teaching environment. I spent a brief period serving as an ESL instructor at the YMCA summer retreat in New York. However, I have turned my attention towards subjects such as music, writing, test prep, ESL, and study skills. I've gained experience working with students of all ages with varying learning needs. I personalize the approach I take with each student, planning out lesson plans and teaching methods that are best suited to the individual's weaknesses, strengths, and goals. I can work with a student to improve their ability to play guitar, bolster their performance on the PSAT critical reading section, or edit their college essays for grammar. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the guitar, learning about new technology, and meditating.
