Kelsey

My name is Kelsey, and I'm excited for the opportunity to assist you (or your student) in achieving and surpassing your reading and writing goals! A short introduction to me: I'm a journalist by trade, and while I consider myself a bit of a generalist, the subjects I write about most often are popular culture and media, fashion, sustainability and breaking news. Outside of my work, I enjoy Youtube video essays, magazines (I'm a paper fiend!) and movies. From 2022 through 2024, I worked with Yale University's Be (A) Part program. There, I assisted students one-on-one in college admissions preparation; I guided my students in essay/personal statement ideation, outlining and editing, as well as resume and college entrance interview preparation. In 2025, I worked in several NYC high school classrooms as an in-house tutor for all levels of English and Language Arts classes. I also helped students prepare for the Regents exams (New York's required standardized testing). Most of my tutoring experience has been with high school and college students. My teaching/tutoring style is one of patience, diligence and individualization. I tailor all of my lessons to students' needs, and keenly understand that everyone learns and understands differently; I take care to ensure that my students (of all ages and levels) comprehend what they are reading before moving forward to the next topic. Reading and comprehending subject matter can be quite challenging, but I've got a few tips and tricks I can share about how to make it less daunting! I have an eye for detail and know what makes for a compelling narrative and engaging story: if you want to craft a paper, essay or personal statement that is grammatically sound and beautifully composed, I am the tutor for you. I look forward to speaking with you! My academic background: I completed my Master's degree in Magazine and Digital Storytelling at New York University in December 2025, and my Bachelor's degree in Journalism at the University of Southern California in May 2024.
