I'm a clinical psychologist recently out of grad school. I'm passionate about teaching, test prep, and coaching. I look forward to working with you.

Learning improves your life. I have never been disappointed with having gained knowledge. I have found this truth to improve my circumstances in my professional and personal life. Sharing our knowledge is one of the greatest gifts we can give for individuals and for society as a whole. I seek to bring a joy and light-heartedness to learning that will encourage the student to overcome and perceived weaknesses and build confidence in their ability to learn on their own.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received a Bachelors of Arts in Biology and Music in the spring of 2015. Since graduation, I have participated in science research internships while also preparing to take the GRE and attend a doctoral program in the biological sciences. In the summer of 2015, I participated in behavioral research on chimpanzees, and am now assisting with the skeletal archives at the American Museum of Natural History. I have had experience teaching as a peer mentor for college students in Introductory Biology, as a camp counselor at the Central Park Zoo, and as a tap dance instructor.My academic strengths are science, social sciences, music, and SAT preparation. I loved my time in primary and secondary school and hope to instill my excitement for learning into my tutees. While sometimes tests (both standardized and otherwise) can be tricky and decrease students' faith in themselves, I am certain that, with a little confidence boost, any student can make great strides with their coursework. As a teacher, I offer patience, humor, and brevity. I have enjoyed the time I've spent getting students to become engaged, excited, and proud of their knowledge. I look forward to giving my tutees this "confidence boost."

I'm a recent graduate of Wesleyan University, where I majored in English and received High Honors for my senior thesis. During college, I began tutoring through Upward Bound, a university-run program that provides resources for low-income high school students. At Upward Bound, I worked twice a week with the same students, helping them not only with homework, studying, and mastering the material, but also in honing their study skills and applying to colleges.I'm currently working part-time at a Montessori school in Richmond, Virginia, so I've worked with . I've also been a camp counselor for years, and have led various activities there, including low ropes, chess, archery, swimming, canoeing, and creative writing. I'm passionate not only about learning but about teaching how to learn, emphasizing the techniques of mastering material as well as teaching the material itself.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my B.A. in African Studies with concentrations in History and Religion. I have two years of professional experience as a math tutor in Richmond, Virginia. I also spent a summer in Nairobi, Kenya, teaching at an all-girls school. I greatly enjoy tutoring both history (and related social studies) and mathematics because I see them as two different ways of telling stories about the world in which we live. Tutoring history means building stories out of a collection of facts, a love of places, peoples, and cultures both near and far that I learned young while describing my family history - with a father from Cape Town, South Africa, and a mother from New Orleans - to others. Tutoring mathematics (and standardized tests) means breaking an idea down to its most basic parts, figuring out why and how it works in a way that brings great improvement in both understanding and practical performance.In my spare time, I love dancing, writing, and Netflix, and never travel on the subway without a good book.

I am originally from Evanston, Illinois. I received my B.A. in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. I continued to pursue my Science career in New York, where I worked in a laboratory at Columbia University Medical Center. While working, I applied to graduate school and entered in Fall of 2013. I am currently earning my PhD at New York University in Molecular Biophysics. I hope to one day apply my crystallography skills to advance the area of novel drug design. In my free time I enjoy traveling, running and playing lacrosse.

I am currently an undergraduate student at Wesleyan University and am majoring in molecular biology and biochemistry. At Wesleyan, I've been a member of the Science Outreach program, where we teach scientific concepts to students at local elementary schools. This experience has been extremely rewarding and has made me interested in helping other students as well.

I have a Ph.D. in mathematics.I have taught mathematics for 13 years at different levels, such as middle school, high school, private tutoring, and university.

I love science because I love the thought process that goes into it. I currently work as a biology professor, and my favorite part of my job is helping students make connections with the class material. I believe that learning to think critically about the world has applications far beyond the classroom, and watching students learn to evaluate claims and think deeply about a topic is very rewarding.My goals are to help anyone who wants to learn, and to help students love science as much as I do. I emphasize mostly concept and problem based learning, rather than route memorization. Memorization is often a necessary first step to learning a topic, but mastering a concept allows students to work through problems they haven't seen before.

I am a rising senior at Wesleyan University studying French Language and Literature and Government with a concentration in Political Theory. I'm available to tutor in many subjects including English, Writing, Grammar, Literature, Essay Editing, Social Studies, European History, and varying levels of French. I am a passionate learner, eager to share this passion with students who are in need of any help whatsoever. I am especially excited to tutor students in French. I can recognize more than anyone that learning a second language doesn't always come naturally. I can understand that struggle on a personal level, but with hard work and practice, I truly believe that anyone can succeed in a foreign language! In my spare time I enjoy reading anything and everything, watching foreign films, and shopping!

Strategic, high-energy, confident professional bridging the gap between goals and accomplishments

Hi ! I enjoy helping people learn statistics, probability, and coding in python and R. I think these subjects are often taught by teachers who don't have empathy for their students who might struggle with the material. I will work with you to take on the material, and will help you take it on in small chunks, making sure you understand and feel confident each step of the way. I'm excited to work with you!

I graduated from Wesleyan University as a double major in Film Studies and History. I first began tutoring as part of Wesleyan's Writing Workshop where I helped students on a range of assignments, from small academic papers to a PhD dissertation in ethnomusicology. Since graduation, I have traveled extensively in North Africa, the Middle East and Central America, and I have worked in law and education. I currently teach Film Production at a public arts high school and freelance as a filmmaker and writer. In my spare time, I play beach volleyball and enjoy cooking, gardening and reading.

Mr. Chen was my first Mandarin Chinese teacher. He arrived to teach in the 1990s at St. Paul's School, a New England boarding school. As a non-native speaker of Chinese, I sat in Mr. Chen's class behind a desk and studied Chinese. At that time, I was confused and considered dropping the course. But Mr. Chen took me aside and said through hard work and discipline, I could learn the language. This talk inspired me to continue studying.In college, Chinese became more challenging. I had to take dictations, tests, and quizzes. I had to work with other students on skits and dialogues. In the evenings, I listened over and over again to Chinese language audio tapes, and made flash cards for the hundreds of characters we studied. Again, I considered quitting. However, Ms. Liu, my college Chinese teacher encouraged me to go to China. I took her advice and decided to take a year-off to live in Beijing.When I arrived that first time in Beijing, I even had trouble getting to my hotel. But after one summer in China, I was speaking Chinese at a high level of proficiency. I thought in Chinese throughout the day, and even had dreams where I spoke Chinese in the dream.After returning to the U.S. in 2006, I applied to the Chinese Flagship Program at The Ohio State University and won a scholarship from the Department of Defense. The program was a great fit, as I sought greater Chinese language proficiency. During the first year of the Flagship Program, I worked with a mentor, developing expertise in the domain of Chinese media from its earliest beginnings during the Communist revolution, through the Maoist period, and finally to its current state. We also devoted time to reading Chinese short stories, such as Lu Xun's "The True Story of Ah Q" and "A Madman's Diary." Reading these classics, along with reading about China's media gave me better appreciation for the Chinese language, as well as China's history and culture.After the Flagship program, I learned that my true passion for the language and culture would be best expressed through teaching and tutoring. I have spent years studying and learning Chinese and have reached fluency. I view teaching and tutoring as a way to give back what I have learned. Whether it is a particular grammar construction or the use of a particular verb, the moment when it clicks in a student's head and they understand what you are saying is a special moment for any teacher.This past year, I enrolled in a Master of Arts teaching program at Brandeis University. The program is unique in that it specializes in teaching Chinese. There are very few schools in the U.S. which train students to become Chinese teachers. This spring I taught two Chinese classes at Boston Latin School. This experience at Boston Latin School was invaluable, as I received hands-on experience in Chinese teaching and tutoring.As a non-native fluent speaker of Chinese, I have many advantages for the language. I can better explain grammar points having had the experience of learning the language in a classroom as they are. I also can serve as an example to other non-native speakers who are learning Chinese and share an understanding of the process. Students will be able to look up to me as an example of someone who has excelled at a difficult language, and I hope to inspire them to continue to study Chinese.My teaching philosophy is that all students are capable of learning Chinese. I tutor with this thought in mind. In this sense, I can be a strict tutor. I will not let my students off easy. I will push them to answer questions correctly. For example, if a student responds to a question with a one word answer, then I will challenge him to respond with a full sentence. At the same time, if I see a student struggling, I will help them. I seek to empower each student to reach fluency through discipline, hard work, and opportunity.Just like Mr. Chen, my high school Mandarin teacher, and all the other teachers who inspired me, I hope my teaching and experience can inspire more young Americans to become successful Chinese language learners.

The best part of teaching is when my student "gets" something, and the light bulb turns on. I teach you how to do something - writing, test-taking, study skills - so you can do it on your own in the future.

I am a rising senior at Wesleyan University double majoring in government and music, with a minor in creative writing. I have years of experience teaching and tutoring writing and music both individually and in groups. I work as the editor-in-chief of The Wesleyan Argus at school, which has given me much experience editing and working with writers. I also often teach individual piano lessons and theory during breaks.

I tutored SAT throughout all four years of college, and I am passionate about helping students achieve their higher education goals - in part by leaping over the standardized testing hurdle. I believe that access to helpful hints, tips, tricks, and, of course, grammatical concepts, through an SAT tutor can make all the difference in alleviating at least some of the stress that SAT season can bring. My teaching style is very flexible and depends on the needs of my students - I am constantly considering my students' prior knowledge, learning styles, and interests when creating my lesson plans.

Hello! My name is Langston Morrison, J.D.. I am from Pennsylvania and have a deep passion for learning and teaching foreign languages. I speak English, Spanish, Mandarin, German, French, Kiswahili, etyo (language spoken by the Bubi people of Equatorial Guinea), and Lingala. I also read and write Egyptian hieroglpyhs and Coptic. In my language sessions, I utilize an immersion-based approach where I prioritize the use of the target language in sessions. Limited English is spoken by me and the student. This is useful and necessary because it enables and encourages the student to enhance his/her speaking and listening skills. In addition, I utilize fun tools to practice reading and writing as well to improve the student's vocabulary and grammar. For any inquiries regarding our sessions or student progress, please don't hesitate to reach out on this platform or via cell phone or email (see below). Merci, c'est parti!

I graduated with honors from the College of Letters at Wesleyan University in 2013. As a part of my undergraduate program of study, I spent a semester at the University of Bologna in Italy and completed a thesis project. While at Wesleyan, I tutored Elementary students and fellow undergraduates. During the year after I graduated, I worked as an English instructor in South Korea. I am comfortable with a wide range of subjects, but I have a particular fondness for history and literature, and I am particularly experienced at helping students with their writing. I'm currently working my way through the required courses to apply to Medical School, and I'm excited to share my newfound passion for the sciences with younger students. I believe that academic success can lead students to personal growth as well as a brighter future. I enjoy helping my students achieve their goals, whether they are seeking to master a subject they find challenging or improve their scores on a standardized test. When I'm not studying (or at the lab) myself, I'm either at dance class, cooking a large meal for my friends, or appreciating the arts at a performance, gallery, or museum.

I'm a graduate of Wesleyan University, Tufts University School of Medicine, the Massachusetts School of Law. Since law school, my focus has been on mediation and am certified in family, divorce and general mediation. My focus throughout my life has been on music and education. I have extensive experience with public speaking and writing. I've written blogs, a book and many articles that have appeared in magazines and professional journals. I've also done public media work and been on the radio and TV. Some of the highlights of my career has been to use these experiences to help kids in need and help other people learn to write and communicate in a way to help other families and kids in need, too. For music, I've been playing the saxophone since elementary school. I love finding new ways to be creative and have conducted jazz ensembles in college as well as a musical. I've written music and love helping other students learn music theory. My true passion is in helping people learn to play the saxophone. I play in concert bands in Massachusetts and love finding ways to continue to help new players continue to learn. In fact, I still call my old teachers to help me when I want to grow more and am currently learning a new instrument the classical guitar. The wonderful adventure of music is there is always a new challenge. I can't wait to help you find your goals whether it be writing, public speaking or music. I've spent my life diving into those areas and look forward to helping you dive into those oceans and explore those areas with you.

I received a BA in English Literature from Wesleyan University, a small liberal arts college in Middletown, CT. After earning my degree last May, I moved to Pittsburgh in September to do a year of volunteer service work for a local nonprofit. I've been enjoying exploring my new city, and I've loved all the people I've met here. In true liberal arts fashion, I have taken courses across a diverse range of disciplines, earning a Certificate in International Relations for completing courses across the government, history, economics, Spanish, and religion departments. Throughout my college years, I worked in multiple tutor rolesas a teaching intern for a philosophy and history course, as a volunteer tutor at a local middle school, and as a writing tutor for all levels of college students, including four senior thesis writers. My favorite part of tutoring is getting to know my students as people, learning about what gets my students excited about learning and hearing about my students' successes and failures, academically and otherwise. As a recent college grad myself, I have always experienced huge satisfaction when my studies finally click. I love seeing my students experience a breakthroughthat moment when a lightbulb goes off and I can see my student visibly start to make sense of the work.

I graduated from Wesleyan University with a degree in Neuroscience & Behavior. I also obtained a Masters in Teaching with a focus on middle school math from Relay Graduate School of Education. I now look to pursue a PhD in sociology in the upcoming year.I have worked five years in education, three of which I spent teaching middle school math. Math and Science are my favorite subjects. I believe it is important to understand the ways in which our world works, and these subjects provide a good foundation for building necessary critical-thinking skills in kids.I consider myself a coffee enthusiast. So, in my spare time I love to explore new coffee shops. Aside from that I love to dance, go on hikes, and spend time with cats. I believe it is important to have a healthy life outside of education, hence my hobbies.

I graduated from a Wesleyan University, and currently work as a tutor at a middle school in Meriden. I am familiar with how schools operate under the effects of the pandemic. I using interactive tutoring techniques to engage student and aim to create fun learning experience. I'm passionate about helping students achieve academic success.I help students to learn math by explaining math concepts using graphics and videos. I then assign students practice questions until they fully retain the concepts. I have been a successful math student, and took math courses up to Calculus 2.Although I enjoy learning and tutoring math. I actually majored in anthropology. I can help with the process of writing personal essays and academic papers.I minored in College of East Asian Studies, and am a native Chinese speaker. I can provide language immersion experience through tutoring.Please contact me if you would like to learn more and schedule lessons.

My name is Howe. I graduated from Wesleyan University in May, and I recently moved from New York to West Philly, where I am very excited to be working with Varsity Tutors. I love being able to work with students in a one-on-one setting; for students to truly grasp difficult concepts, they must be able to discuss the material freely with their teacher, which is rarely possible in a classroom setting. For writing especially, one-on-one tutoring is essential to developing one's skills. As a Varsity Tutor, I hope to not only strengthen students' writing and academic performance, but also make them feel more confident in their ability to learn.

My experiences in the field of education have involved a variety of different areas, including elementary level math, reading, and writing, as well as Chemistry and Biology. As a Neuroscience liberal arts major, I have a background in a wide variety of subjects, allowing me to approach each subject using techniques that integrate methods from different topics. I have experience through a volunteer organization called Project Story Boost in which I tutored elementary school children from 3rd-4th grade in reading and comprehension. As a Big Sister, I also tutored a third grader in math and science. I was also a tutor for an Introductory level college Chemistry course at Bates College, in which I was paired individually with a student who needed assistance in understanding homework and lecture material. I have also been a teaching assistant for two different statistical analysis courses at Wesleyan University in which I held office hours and lectures to help students with their comprehension of the course material. My methods for teaching reading and writing involve integrating fun, exciting techniques that engage the student in the material. By involving different methods of approaching the material, the student will be exposed to the material in different ways, allowing him or her to become interested in the subjects.Though I have mastered the topics I am comfortable tutoring, I treat each tutoring session as a learning process in which the student and I learn the material together as a team. This type of tutoring dynamic fosters a positive learning environment in which the student is able to thrive. This environment allows students to replace the idea that the material is "too hard" with the idea that the material is an "exciting challenge." I am trained in different communication techniques that allow me to accurately assess the weak points for students, and using these points as a baseline for the session, I tailor each session to the student's individual needs. My greatest ambition as a tutor is to inspire children to both find and develop their own passions for learning.

I'm a Neuroscience and Theater double major at Wesleyan University pursuing a B.A in Neuroscience and a B.A in Theater. I love helping students succeed in classes and unlock their potential that I know they posses. I have lots of experience as a teaching assistant for college courses, as well as being a tutor for my college peers and students from elementary to high school age. By tutoring students, I learn more about my own teaching process, the subjects I am teaching, and how to create meaningful relationships that lend themselves to success in academics. I'm really passionate about neuroscience, biology, and chemistry, and I love sharing my passion with other students while ensuring their success in classes! I modify my tutoring method based on your needs!

I have tutored high school students in math and science for the past four years, and have spent the past year tutoring in organic chemistry. I have worked as teaching assistant for various professors and have assisted college students develop productive studying strategies. I am all too familiar with how difficult organic chemistry is, but I am the rare person who actually loves the subject, and have been exposed to organic chemistry in the classroom and in the laboratory. I am very passionate about science and want to help others enjoy the subjects as much as I do :)Education:Wesleyan University, CT 2018Majors: Neuroscience and Psychology

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. I received my Bachelor of Arts from the interdisciplinary College of Social Studies and earned certificates in South Asian studies, international relations, and social, cultural, and critical theory. I graduated with honors for my senior thesis which explored the 1947 Partition of India and Pakistan. I was awarded both the Davenport Grant for study of public affairs and the Tololyan Fund for study of diasporas and transnationalism, with which I was able to traverse the Indian subcontinent, interview family members, and conduct independent research.This experience confirmed my love for stories and their potential to build compassion, and so upon graduation, I continued pursuing historical, archival, and educational work as a William J. Clinton Fellow with the American India Foundation. I spent my fellowship year traveling across the country as a story scholar with the 1947 Partition Archive, collecting the oral histories of Partition survivors and helping them realize the potential of their own stories in facilitating greater cooperation between communities for generations to come.I am similarly passionate about helping students as a means of helping them realize their own potentialmy ultimate goal, far more important than just going over any particular subject material or standardized test. Since high school I have developed curriculums and tutored students in areas like character education for elementary schoolers, college essay writing for underprivileged high schoolers, and standardized test-taking for all ages. My teaching philosophy revolves around the idea that my success as a tutor depends on my ability to address the student in particular, given their background, behavior, and aspirations. This draws on my own experience as a student in the personalized, small classes offered at a small liberal arts school like Wesleyan. As a result, my philosophy often translates into a teaching style that draws heavily on high-level devices like stories, analogies, and real-life experiences tailored for the student. Together, we can then boil down the big picture into relatable specifics through which one can find the answer. The process can be thought of almost as putting together a jigsaw puzzle: my role will be to come up with and find the pieces before guiding the student to learn how exactly they can be put together, so he or she will always be ready next time they encounter such a problem.Though my expertise and passion in the social scienceseconomics, history, political science, philosophyis obvious given my academic background, I also have extensive work experience in computer science and programming that I am eager to share with my students. In high school I excelled with standardized tests like the ACT and SAT, in addition to a variety of subjects in the AP curriculum. I look forward to the opportunity to help students in as many of these areas as needed to ensure a solid academic foundation for whatever future successes they aspire toward.Since returning to NYC, I have also worked as an independent writer and musician, with plans for graduate school in the interdisciplinary South Asian studies and the release of my debut album, consisting of songs written during my year in India.

When I was in high school, many people told me that I was not a "science person" and that because STEM did not come naturally to me, I could never succeed in science. Fortunately, one biology teacher believed in me and inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and into science. Now, I am a PHD student studying environmental science. While my research focus is on microbial ecology, I have broad tutoring experience, ranging from teaching reading and math skills to elementary school students, tutoring middle school students in English and writing, and teaching biology to college students as a course assistant. I tutor in two main areas, literacy skills and biology, and teach from a middle school to GRE level both subject areas. One passionate teacher, who valued hard work over talent, inspired me to become a scientist and I hope that I can be that teacher for another student.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, a liberal arts college in Connecticut. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Education Studies with a minor in East Asian Studies. I completed my Master of Arts in Psychology conducting research in the Community-engaged Adolescent for Research and Equity (CARE) Lab. At Wesleyan University, I was a teaching assistant for Advanced Korean, Korean Language Partner, and a Korean tutor for the Dean's Peer Tutoring program. While I have tutored a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Korean as I am a Korean-American myself. As Korean culture has been expanding globally, I think it is important to properly learn the culture and the language. In my experience helping students learn Korean to achieve their goals, whether that is to communicate with family, study in Korea, and/or travel to Korea, is always such a fun and rewarding experience. I am willing to adapt to the needs of my tutee/student at their pace and goals to learn.

I am a 2019 graduate of Wesleyan University where I studied Government and Romance Languages. Since graduation, I have done editorial work at the United Nations and worked in France as an English teacher. I tutor a range of subjects, but I particularly love helping people improve their writing because I believe being a good writer is one of the most important skills to have for success.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University with a Bachelor's degree in chemistry. While in college I worked as a tutor and teaching assistant for first year chemistry, holding weekly sessions where I went over homework and tests. After college I worked for two years at an after-school enrichment program where I again tutored and taught classes in chemistry, math, as well as SAT and ACT prep courses. I have always enjoyed teaching in one form or another, whether it be for academic subjects, music lessons, drawing or martial arts.

I'm a writer with a degree from Wesleyan University and a background in humanities tutoring. I cover European, World, and US history, as well as writing, reading comp, and literature topics. I've been a writing mentor and a course grader at the college level, and have more than three years experience working with high school and middle school students - everything from homework help to college application essays. I also do GRE and SAT verbal section prep. In my spare time, I have strong opinions on film and television, drink a lot of tea, and travel as much as I can.

Hello I am Jake! I am a current sophomore student at Wesleyan University. I am majoring in education studies and economics and currently have a cumulative GPA of 91. I am also an alum of Regis High School in New York. I have experience tutoring and teaching in elementary and high school math and science. I also have experience with tutoring for high school and college admissions exams. I taught part of a 6th grade math curriculum to students over the summer as well. I have been tutoring since 2021. As an education studies student, I use the skills and information I gain from academic work to deliver engaging lessons that meet each student's individualized education needs.

Hi! My name is Yasemin and I am a graduate of top liberal arts college Wesleyan University where I majored in Neuroscience and Behavior and German Studies. I currently work as a Clinical Research Coordinator at Ichan School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital. I am passionate about helping others and have held numerous tutoring positions teaching students from elementary school to college level. I am particularly interested in the sciences and German, and excited to help make a difference!

My approach to teaching and tutoring centers around my background as a liberal arts student turned pre-med. I attended Wesleyan University and then decided after college to pursue medicine, completing a one year post-baccalaureate premedical program at Bryn Mawr College. Having personally undergone the transition from a humanities to a science student, I feel passionately that the sciences can be learned by any student, even those for whom it might feel a little more challenging. Working as a tutor for biology, organic chemistry, general chemistry, and neuroscience, I actively implemented this philosophy, finding creative ways to approach complex concepts. For example, I might steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem.In the context of shifting careers, I have also taken a number of standardized tests, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT. My approach with these tests emphasizes strategy over content; a particular vocabulary word may or may not appear on the actual test, but knowledge of how to approach a passage and its correlated questions will help regardless of content.

I'm Katherine, a recent graduate with a Biology and European Literature/Philosophy degree. I'm passionate about helping you meet your goals through personalized tutoring strategies.

I am a science tutor with a positive, patient, and straightforward approach to teaching. I currently teach part-time with the Chemistry Department at Hunter College and have extensive experience tutoring high school and undergraduate students in the sciences and test prep. My specialities are General Chemistry, Biology, and SAT test prep.To share a little more of my background: I graduated with honors from Wesleyan University in 2008 with my BA in Film Studies and then went on to complete a Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical program at Hunter College. I expect to enter medical school in 2016 and until then am enjoying this chance to pass on the material I've learned to other students!Since I came to the sciences a little later in life, I learned a lot of helpful tools and tricks to make these subjects more accessible and easier to remember. I myself am a visual learner, so I love to incorporate the use of drawings, diagrams, mnemonics, and other learning devices into my instruction.Finding a good fit for your learning style is key, so please feel free to contact me with any questions about my approach or experience!

Hi there! My name is Rachel and I am a writer, art educator, and community event planner. I recently graduated with a B.A. in African American Studies from Wesleyan University, with a concentration in Literature and Performance.Writing and reading are more than hobbies for me. They are my passions, as well as lenses through which I learn more about myself and the world. Getting to teach other people the skills necessary to have enriching experiences with literature is an amazing opportunity to me. I do not take it for granted.During my college years, I started off as an English tutor for middle school-aged children. Within my first year of college, I became one of four student coordinators for a local afterschool program. I was in charge of developing weekly curriculum for students aged 4-14, preparing different plans-of-action for students to tackle reading comprehension and writing skills and topics. While I was sad to graduate and pass leadership of the program over, I was overjoyed to have spent such a long time doing what I love in a community that I adored.I am excited to be a part of the Varsity Tutors Team! Please view the subjects in which I have experience tutoring. I look forward to working with students and families of all backgrounds in order to help make the literary arts more than just "words on a page."
