I am a writer and editor with a B.A. in English from Pomona College. I mostly enjoy tutoring English, but math and science come easily to me as well. I love helping students get the most from their education. That moment when the material finally connects is everything. Outside of academia, I enjoy making music, reading, and working on my novel.

I have a BA in economics from Pomona College with minors in mathematics and music. After college, I was a non-degree, special student at Harvard University for two years where I retook several economics and mathematics classes through the Research Scholar Initiative to better prepare myself for graduate school. I've since been working on my master's degree in economics at Michigan State University. Throughout college and graduate school, I tutored elementary school children in English, math, and music, a middle school student in algebra, high school students in personal finance, and college students in microeconomics and macroeconomics. I am most passionate when tutoring students in mathematics because, regardless of your field of study, math has a funny way of popping up in whatever you do. As someone who has been the worst and best student in many classes, I understand that low performing students are NOT dumb or lazy and that a stellar tutor can make a big difference. In my free time, I like to sing in my church choir and exercise.

I am passionate about helping students because everyone deserves to find joy in learning, and my goal is to make learning engaging and accessible for all. In high school, I tutored middle school students in math and expanded my tutoring in college to include high schoolers and college students. While my primary focus is math, I have also taught a poetry class, tutored Spanish speakers in English, and worked on reading and writing skills. This diverse experience has equipped me to adapt to various learning styles and needs. I earned my BA in Mathematics from Pomona College and attended a magnet high school focused on math and science. My strong educational background helps me tailor my teaching methods to individual needs. In my sessions, I pause to ask questions, ensuring comprehension and engagement, and offer multiple ways to process information, whether visually, through real-world examples, or storytelling. My approach fosters a collaborative environment where I learn from students as much as they learn from me. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading, outdoor walks, cooking, and spending time with my family. These activities keep me grounded and bring a balanced, patient perspective to my life. I look forward to helping students achieve their academic goals and making learning a rewarding experience.

I majored in Neuroscience at Pomona College and am in my last year of medical school at New York Medical College. I've worked with high school, middle school, and elementary school students and can teach any Math subject up until Algebra II, Biological sciences, and SAT prep. The most important thing to me about tutoring is making sure that what I do actually works for you--being creative and flexible are essential. Let me know how I can help you!

I'm a graduate from Pomona College, where I majored in Media Studies, and minored in French. I am currently living and working in the Nashville area, but am available to tutor online from anywhere. For two years, I worked behind the scenes in Pomona's admissions office as an application reader, so I know how important the grades, scores, and proper style can be in determining where you'll go to school and who you'll become as an adult; and I also know how much having someone to guide and help you through the process can make a difference. Having been fortunate enough to have dedicated teachers and mentors help me through my own education, I want to do the same for you! Whether it be test prep tricks and tips, working on college essays, formatting resumes, learning to interview well, or just getting academic help in your classes to make sure you get the best grades you can get, I want to help show you how you can be the best you can be!I'm easy to talk to, I have a very nurturing nature, and I'm an expert at rephrasing confusing definitions and ideas in all sorts of subjects. Grammar, literature, writing, basic math, any of the humanities - if something's unclear, I can elucidate it for you 100%! Since I work in college admissions, I'll be a great resource for anyone preparing for college - not only did I go to the #2 college in the country (according to Forbes!), but I also help decide who gets to go there next! I performed excellently on my standardized tests, I've previously taught resume writing and interviewing skills in addition to working behind the scenes in admissions, so I know what schools are looking for and I have the skills to help you get to the right school for you. I also love food, cooking, movies, music, and home-made beauty products, if you want to talk about something other than school for a little while:)In addition to the collaborative academic environment at Pomona involving lots of peer tutoring, I have worked as a Team Advisor for the National Student Leadership conference through which I gained classroom experience teaching dance, theater, interviewing skills, resume writing skills, and leadership skills. When working with students, I like to tailor teaching styles and plans to whatever best suits the individual: I want to make sure you're getting the help you want in a way that's effective for you. I also learned quite a few ice-breakers if it's necessary to use them!I know students are busy and that flexible hours is a great part of individual tutoring, but if I can plan ahead for tutoring sessions, everyone will be better served. I'm happy to meet students at their homes, or in nearby libraries and cafes - any environment that's conducive to the students' learning!I hope these qualifications appeal to you, and I'm excited to meet you all and work with you to figure out how to best structure your lessons and help you reach your learning goals.

Hi there, I believe that learning a new language should be fun. Learning a language is tough, and I am open to helping students practice speaking, reading, and writing without any judgment. I am open to helping you learn Chinese or Japanese no matter where you are in the learning process.I am an experienced translator and mentor with a bachelor's degree in Asian Studies from Pomona College. I concentrated in East Asian History and minored in Japanese Literature and have lived in Japan, Taiwan, and Mainland China.I also have experience as a college access mentor and have supported over 200 students in applying to college and winning scholarships.

I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts in Politics and a minor in Asian American Studies from Pomona College. I was also accepted to Tufts University and the University of Southern California, where I was awarded a merit scholarship, and waitlisted at Harvard University. I have tutored underrepresented elementary school students to improve their reading comprehension and edited college applications for high school students. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and Reading. As a first-generation low-income student, I understand the importance of education as a form of social mobility and career preparation and will make it my priority that you benefit from each session. In my spare time, I love playing ultimate frisbee and traveling.

My professional mission as a teacher is to motivate, encourage, inspire, and provide support to students by means of providing a secure safe and loving environment where I can help in educating them emotionally, socially, as well as cognitively. This allows them to continue to establish a foundation that they can use for their life-long learning process.I understand that parents are the primary educators for students, and that is why I believe it is imperative to build a strong parent teacher relationship. I believe that students all have the capability to be self-learners if teachers are able to build relationships with things they familiar with to connect with the concepts they are learning. Although children may have different learning styles, all children have the innate capability to learn, and I believe as an educator, it is my job to facilitate this process.As a teacher, I do feel it is necessary to focus on what's best for the student and their goals. Students will grow and develop in various areas of their education, but the key to retaining information is making the learning process an experience. If students are able to explore these topics they will experience a higher level of learning. I always establish a sense of respect with my students by being genuine, transparent, and receptive to students' ideas and opinions. Once students are able to come to an understanding, the potential for learning and growth becomes unlimited.

I have been a private, one-on-one tutor for over five years, specializing in all styles of writing, ELA, the grammar/mechanics of the English language, psychology, and college admissions essay writing.I also tutor standardized test prep for the SAT, PSAT, ACT, MTEL, ACCUPLACER, and AP Lang and Comp test. All practice materials are included with my test prep curricula!I graduated cum laude from Pomona College, studied mental health counseling at USC, and I am currently pursuing my master's degree at Harvard.Each student is unique, and I excel at determining your specific needs, then focusing on accomplishing your goals with skilled and thoughtful expertise. Collaboration and active learning are focal components of my job as tutor, test prep instructor, and essay editor.I am looking forward to working with you and helping you attain your goals!

I have always been a passionate learner. I have a Bachelors of Arts in Mathematics Economics from Pomona College in Claremont, California and am working on my Masters in International Affairs at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs in the City of New York. I have also taught accelerated mathematics (Algebra I, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus and AP Calculus BC) at the Episcopal School of Los Angeles and economics as a high school elective. Over the past few years of teaching and tutoring, I found great joy in developing that passion in other students. My favorite subject to tutor is upper level mathematics (Algebra II and beyond). This is when the true beauty of mathematics is explored and mathematics begins to have important applications, including what to what I do in international security! I stride to provide a student with creative materials and explanations that best suits their learning style. I am not someone who is satisfied when a student memorizes steps to solve a problem. I always want the student to understand what he/she is doing and why they are doing. This insight will make them a stronger, faster and better student, particularly in the field of mathematics. This brings the student long term results that could extend far beyond the work done in the tutoring sessions. Mathematics is my love and economics is my passion and because of this I bring incredible enthusiasm for the subject to my work. I bring the beauty of mathematics into my explanations, through theoretical and visual interpretations. In my spare time I like to paint and run.

I am a credentialed teacher with ten years of experience. I have an M.A. in Teaching from USC (Multiple Subject/K-6) and a B.A. in Music from Pomona College. I have taught individual and group violin lessons from age 3 to adults throughout L.A., and I have taught general music in the Lawndale School District and at YOLA (Youth Orchestra L.A.) at HOLA (Heart of LA youth center in the Rampart District). I student-taught in general elementary school classrooms (2nd and 5th grade), and have tutored students at YOLA.No matter what the subject, my focus has always been on finding the unique strengths of each individual student, and building on those strengths to approach areas of struggle. I enjoy working with students with diverse learning styles and discovering the unique ways each student takes in and understands information. I firmly believe that everyone is smart in their own way, and I love to discover and appreciate each student's way of learning and thinking. I believe that we all construct our own knowledge through experience - we learn by doing, by experimenting, trying, and experiencing - and I encourage my students to try out and adjust their own strategies, instead of always expecting them to do it my way.I am an artist, writer and musician (I led a folk band for 5 years). I am an avid public transit rider and often get around by bicycle. I enjoy gardening and I am passionate about building community.

HELPING YOU GET ACROSS THE GOAL LINE!I graduated with a double major in physics and philosophy and I believe that my background has given me ease when it comes to understanding student needs and organizing an effective teaching plan. Nevada is currently ranked at the very end when it comes to education in the United States and coming from immigrant parents didn't help me either when it came to my education. Consequently, my love for teaching comes from the fact that I feel that by teaching, I can give to others what I lacked. It started from an early age when I tutored 6th graders in middle school who were struggling in math and continues to this day. I taught SAT seminars at my high school, public speaking classes, and leadership classes. In recent times, I have taught and tutored physics, dancing, Spanish, and mathematics.

I am a rising senior at Pomona College, a small liberal arts college in California, majoring in Public Policy Analysis with a concentration in Economics and a minor in Mathematics. Born and raised just outside of Minneapolis, I am excited to be tutoring in the area. I've studied a variety of topics over the course of my academic career, but I feel especially confident in my knowledge base and tutoring ability in math, history, and standardized testing (especially the ACT).Over the past few years, I have been involved with an organization that teaches financial literacy in high school classrooms and have tutored a small group of high school students on topics such as credit cards, bank accounts, and budgeting. When tutoring, I focus on creating a friendly and comfortable environment to enable student success, and then ensuring every activity we do helps lead to that success.

Since the day I began to teach, I've wanted to be a college professor. I've taught students from age ranges 5 - 18, and particularly love teaching kids in high school. Last summer, I led my own classroom last summer teaching math to rising high schoolers, which really cemented my passion for teaching. I believe that a strong student-teacher connection is the key to a successful learning experience.I'm a Junior at Pomona College, an elite liberal arts institution in California with a 7% acceptance rate. I am double majoring in Math and Computer Science. I primarily tutor Math, Physics and English, as these are subjects I've tutored in the past and believe I am most qualified to teach. I've always had a lot of fun teaching strategic and critical analysis, through intriguing puzzles and game-like math problems. I believe I am very personable, and love to meet new people.

My name is Yanai Elijah Feldman. I studied Mathematics at Pomona College, and along the way I found myself helping peers through the subjects that tend to feel most intimidating. One of my greatest gifts is sincerity. The I Ching the ancient Chinese book of wisdom associates sincerity with the very nature of teaching. I think about that often, because it rings true for me. I don't just tutor to share knowledge. I teach because it's how I learn about relationship, about people, about myself. I was lucky from high school through college, I had real math educators. People who didn't just get through the material, but actually understood it from the inside out. That shaped everything about how I think about teaching. I'll be honest: I'm not great at writing persuasive bios. What I can tell you is that I genuinely care, and that I'm here to build something real with you. When I tutor someone, I'm not filling an hour I'm trying to understand who you are, how you think, and what yo

I have a BA in Sociology from Pomona College and held both volunteer and paid positions as a tutor during my time in college. I did everything from private SAT prep to large group settings working on 5th grade spelling and Calculus simultaneously. I worked in classrooms doing writing workshops and even taught English as a part of my internship while studying abroad in Senegal. Working at a tutoring center, I focused on upper level math and advanced placement courses. When I am not tutoring, I am studying to be an EMT. I also love backpacking and adventuring.

I am a graduate of Pomona College, where I majored in Neuroscience. I am preparing to apply to medical school and hope to continue working with kids as a pediatrician.I have over 7 years of tutoring and mentoring experience, working with students from 2nd to 12th grade. I am passionate about working with students and being able to connect with them as a near-peer. My goal is to help each and every student I work with find the academic subject that sparks their passion for learning. Being a visual learner myself, I have always had to create tools, draw pictures, or make games for myself in order to learn, and I bring that to my tutoring style. I truly believe that any student has the capacity to learn and excel in academics--it's up to the tutor/teacher to find a creative way to teach!The sciences are my specialty, as evidenced by my college major as well as my medical school preparation, but I have worked with students in all academic areas, from English/Language Arts to the college application process, as well as SAT prep.In my free time, I love hiking, traveling, and cooking.

After graduating from undergrad in California I came to Austin and in the two years I have been here I have started a professional acting career in films, plays, commercials and other fun arenas. I love teaching and learning in just about any subject but I am most fond of languages, literature History - there's just so much humanity and adventure and passion and awesomeness and...we'll you catch my drift :) I have taught and tutored children as young as 5 up through college aged folk as well. My parents are both professors so I guess I was bitten at an early age with the education bug. Like them, I think that the keys to unlocking the most fruitful learning experiences are: Patience, Passion and Listening - on the both the part of the student and the instructor. Its my pleasure to inspire and stir these qualities in a learning environment. The interdisciplinary nature of acting is something that carries over into my tutoring so if we are studying Spanish there is good chance music will make it into our lessons OR if we are looking at History food, culture or travel may well be part of what we look at, etcetera. When I run into free time I love to play classical guitar, listen to music, watch a play/film/TV program or write songs.

I am a graduate of Pomona College, where I received my B.A. in Linguistics. I love languages and grammar, and I enjoy helping others figure out the puzzles of how English and other languages work. I was a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in Turkey, where I taught English to university students. I have experience with students of all ages as a tutor at Upward Bound and local community organizations. I have also worked as an American Literature teacher at Breakthrough Twin Cities, where my favorite part of the job was seeing my students excited about what they were reading. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but I especially enjoy tutoring language and reading. I believe that with the right support, students can improve and succeed in any area. In my free time, I like to bake, ride my bike, and play the ukulele.

I am a graduate of Pomona College. In 2012, I received my Bachelor of Arts with a major in Politics. Since graduation, I have worked in both public and private schools as an instructional assistant. My job responsibilities included tutoring students in the following subjects: Pre-Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, AP Calculus, English/Language Arts, Writing, Social Studies, U.S. Government, Biology, and Social Studies. Of the many subjects I have helped my students with, subjects involving math or politics have been my favorite, because both challenge me to think creatively and critically. My tutoring philosophy is to help create independent and critical thinkers. My style reflects this style: The ultimate goal in every tutoring session is NOT to get the right answers, but to understand the concepts being taught and to be able to apply that understanding to a variety of situations. Outside of working with students, I enjoy reading and running.

I love to teach because I love to learn! As a student at Pomona College, a highly selective liberal arts college in California, my love of writing, reading, and education came to fruition amongst some of the top professors and students in the country. I have worked with high school and college-aged students on all types of writing, ranging from college admissions essays to senior theses - and everything in between. I'm currently applying to be a Ph.D. candidate in the hopes of becoming a professor in the social sciences, as my greatest passion is helping students harness their potential and realize their success!I know what it's like to struggle in a class - I would never have succeeded in school without the help of my teachers, professors, and tutors. No one person learns in the same way as another, and I love finding out exactly what makes you tick as a thinker. I'm excited to meet you where you're at, build upon your strengths, and help you improve in any area you'd like to.I am a writer by trade and have written countless pieces of creative and academic writing. Some have been published, including assisting a professor in college during the writing phases of one of her books. I have worked with students of multiple age groups and diverse backgrounds to find their personal voice, strengthen their writing, and hone in on their arguments. Additionally, I am a comfortable public speaker. From my time a high school debater to my most recent professional experiences in undergraduate admissions, I have learned how to command an audience of any size and conquer my own fears of being on stage!I worked extensively in college admissions, both as a college student and a professional. I have 2 years of professional admissions experience at Whitman College, a selective liberal arts college in Walla Walla, WA. My time in the undergraduate admissions offices at two top colleges has taught me the ins and outs of the college search process, how to craft a personal statement reflective of your personality and goals, and countless tips and tricks for admissions and financial aid applications. I have worked in a college counseling role for high school students during my time at Whitman, as well.I would be honored to help you accomplish your goals! Please get in touch if you have any questions, or if you think I might be a good fit for your needs. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I am a new graduate of Pomona College, in Claremont, CA, where I studied Religion and Philosophy. While there, I wrote many papers of a wide variety, working on strong arguments, organization, and phrasing. I peer edited as well as volunteering with groups that mentored high school students, focusing on college admissions work, continuing and expanding my experiences from high school of tutoring for standardized testing. Additionally, I taught beginning violin to younger children.I like to tutor basic math, as helping students understand the basic concepts and learn to apply them by themselves is very rewarding--give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, but teach him to fish and he'll be set for life, type of deal. My favorite, however, is to tutor writing and reading, as these are my own favorite things to do. I think the art of writing is one of the most important, as it effects how you present yourself, as well as how convincing your work is. There is nothing that does not, at least in part, require writing skills--even scientists and mathematicians have to publish papers.In my free time, I love to read and discuss philosophy, religion, and human nature with friends (I am the epitome of the liberal arts student--I love to learn, and hope to do so for my whole life). I am also outdoorsy, and I love to hike and backpack, as well as horseback ride (used to compete in hunter-jumpers, now somewhat limited but I ride when I can). Music is my other major activity, and I sing classical soprano, play violin, and can do some basic guitar--enough to accompany myself and friends when we sing folk songs and popular music, and to support us as we make up harmonies.Travel is also extremely important to me, and I've spent a lot of time in South Asia, especially, from studying abroad there to trekking to volunteering. I think the challenges of travelling in unfamiliar places is incredibly mind opening and helps us to understand the world around us, which is one of the most important things to do in this globalizing world.

Hello! I'm Aaron Wu, a recent graduate from Pomona College with a degree in Music and a concentration in Composition and Theory. As a tutor, I emphasize active learning by incorporating listening examples and interactive exercises whenever possible. I aim to make music theory approachable and engaging by connecting concepts to real musical contexts, helping students not only understand the material but also hear and apply it. My goal is to support each student's individual learning style while building both confidence and curiosity in music.

I just graduated from Pomona College, in east Los Angeles, and I grew up in northern California and Beijing, China. In college, I majored in English and Philosophy/Politics/Economics, but I am passionate about a variety of subjects including math and Mandarin Chinese. Outside of class, I interviewed prospective applicants in the Pomona College Admissions Office and tutored my peers through the writing center.My tutoring philosophy is that boosting confidence and interest in a subject will lead to your success. As a liberal arts school graduate, I know the struggles and joys of learning across multiple disciplines: I want to help you learn the same strategies that have made me successful.Feel free to contact me to see if I'm a good fit for your student's needs!

I am a lifelong learner, eldest brother, musician, artist, former camp counselor and working tutor. Born and raised in New York City, I studied at Pomona College in Los Angeles and spent a semester in Madrid, worked for a few years in Miami at a Latin American technology company and have recently moved to the Detroit area to pursue music more seriously.My education has always reflected my diverse and strong interest across disciplines. My liberal arts undergraduate education focused rigorously on the humanities delving deeply into critical thinking and writing. Through this I have always maintained a logical methodical style of thinking required to understand and guide through math and science.Working as a tutor allows me to continue to share my passion for learning. I still vividly remember the experience of studying for standardized tests, applying to college or simply working through weekly problem sets. Though it may seem tough at times, I hope to always maintain the larger picture and demonstrate where the hard work can lead.I look forward to working with you!

I graduated from Pomona College with a major in Neuroscience and am planning to become a neurological physical therapist. In school, I particularly enjoyed learning about the biological sciences and art. I love to draw and always try to find fun ways to integrate visual learning into my tutoring sessions. I also have experience with the ACT and GRE standardized tests and would love to assist any student who is trying to prepare for success on either. Standardized tests are a drag but studying for them doesn't have to be! I love ice cream and comics and am excited to start working and learning with students in the LA area.

I graduated from Pomona College in 2023 where I obtained degrees in Politics and French. I spent the 2023/2024 school year in France teaching English at two public elementary schools, and I am excited to continue working in education now that I'm back home in the US again. I have tutored middle and high school students in a wide array of subjects, such as French, English, US and World History, Writing, and SAT prep. I have also self-studied for and taken the LSAT, so I would be happy to help with LSAT prep as well. I am approachable, knowledgeable, and passionate, and I always aim to adapt my approach to the needs of each individual student. For fun, I love to make art and read lots of books!

Hi! I'm Marla. I specialize in SAT Prep (Math and Verbal), Elementary and Middle School Math, Algebra, Geometry and Essay Writing. I particularly enjoy test taking and solving tricky math questions. I will help your student learn to enjoy the process, so he or she is better able to excel!I am originally from Los Angeles and have a BA in Psychology from Pomona College. I'm also a singer and musician and recently went back to school to pursue a graduate degree in Music Education. My long term goal is to become an Elementary or Middle School Choir Director.

I started as a pre-med major at Pomona College. However, the academic success I achieved in high school did not translate I had to relearn how to approach academics. A large influence on my change was my experience with Building Leaders on Campus (BLOC), an organization predominantly comprised of men of color to develop our leadership potential. This organization developed me as a leader and gave me a foundation for understanding what it takes to lead a team. I started this organization as a freshman, and devoted a large amount of my time to it by fundraising, organizing diversity-centered events and developing it into a self-sustaining entity that comprises at least thirty students every year. This was my first opportunity to act as a conduit helping people in my community learn more about taking care of themselves. I helped build a safe space for students who felt marginalized and silenced. Like the way I wanted to help people in my community with their health issues. It gave me the leadership and interpersonal skills needed to become a physician.I entered a rigorous graduate program to become a more competitive applicant. While in school I volunteered at the Ronald McDonald house also while working 20 hours a week as a server and 20-30 hours a week performing research. This taught me how manage my time well like how I would need to in medical school. Volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House allows me to experience numerous disparities firsthand and to build a personal connection with families whose child is undergoing long term care. This is the difference between treating the symptoms and considering the factors that may cause them like ethnicity, environment, and socioeconomic status. This work I can bridge the gap between treating a patient and treating the person. It allows me to see a side of healthcare that I feel is missed.Pomona's interdisciplinary approach gave me the opportunity to learn about the sociological determinants of health, about how disconnects between doctors and their patients are anything but rare, and about how these disconnects can be improved through cultural competency. This mixed with the leadership skills I gained with BLOC fueled my desire to become a physician. By combining these skills with the understanding that I gained from my coursework of the sociological structures that influence health outcomes in those same communities, I will be a leader in my community who will educate others. I want to communicate between the unaware and the informed to decrease these disconnects in my future community.In the future, I would like to work in a hospital that caters to low socioeconomic populations, much like Ben Taub hospital, and volunteer at free clinics. I would like to influence medicine so that I will be able to cater to communities like my own and improve health outcomes among minorities. I am drawn to primary care because it will allow me to bridge disconnects between underserved communities, patients, like Guillermo, and their doctors. I am confident that my ability to communicate empathetically with people from various backgrounds will be beneficial in an intensive care setting. I am excited to dedicate myself to a career as a physician serving the underserved, eagerly awaiting the opportunities and challenges ahead.

I graduated from NYU's Steinhardt School of Education with my dual Masters degrees in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. I am also a certified teacher for birth through 2nd grade and have my certification in Students with Disabilities. I previously attended Pomona College where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English. I have taught for two years in a preschool prior to enrolling at NYU. I am passionate about providing each child I encounter with a lifelong love of learning and curiosity. I am able to tutor all aspects of ELA in Elementary School, including reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar, phonics, decoding, comprehension and more, which are my favorite to teach or tutor. In addition, I am very proficient and eager to help with all aspects of English and essay writing or editing from elementary school through college, including SAT English and College Application Essays. I love to make tutoring sessions fun with games that accomplish goals rather than rote memorization or school-like lessons and homework. I meet students where they are in their work and in terms of their interests so that they are included in the work we do together. Outside of tutoring, I love reading, yoga, psychoanalysis and my two cats.

With over five years of teaching and tutoring experience worldwide, and more than fifteen years working with children, I bring both expertise and passion to education. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in History from Pomona College, with a focus on the history of Africa and the African Diaspora. My dedication to education has been a constant throughout my extensive travels. I've researched the impact of education in post-genocide Rwanda, assisted high school students in Nepal with college admissions essays, taught business English to hotel staff in China, and worked as a preschool teacher in Taiwan. I have experience teaching English Language Arts, phonics, grammar, English conversation, elementary math, and beginner Chinese. However, reading and writing remain my favorite subjects. As a tutor, my top priority is understanding each student's unique needs, background, and talents. This enables me to tailor lessons for success, ensuring students leave each session with a sense of accomplishment and greater confidence. My hope as a tutor is to be a source of continuous support and encouragement for all my students. I value open, honest communication with families. By working together, we can ensure that students receive the guidance and encouragement they need to thrive. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy reading, baking cinnamon rolls, and spending time with my dog.
