Hello! My name is Amal, and I am an undergraduate student at Harvard University studying History and Literature with a focus on Ethnic Studies, as well as French language. My academic work centers colonial Atlantic history, the history of medicine, and human rights. I am passionate about social justice and civil liberties, something that is inherently connected to education, which is what has drawn me to tutoring and teaching. I am excited to begin helping students succeed in their humanities courses like English and History, as well as provide assistance for standardized testing and college admissions.
In my free time, I enjoy practicing ceramic arts, learning foreign languages, volunteering at my local animal shelter, and exploring!
