Hi! I’m Emma. I began my career in education as a Teach for America corps member and dedicated eight years to teaching high school English and history in a variety of diverse school settings across the country. Since leaving the classroom, I have earned an M.A. in Education Policy from Brown University and served as a Strategic Data Project fellow through the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University. Currently, I’m pursuing a PhD in Policy, Leadership, and School Improvement at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
As a tutor, I specialize in writing, including college essays; World, European, and U.S. History; Latin; and SAT/ACT test prep. I particularly enjoy guiding high school seniors through the college essay process, from thoughtful self-reflection to crafting a compelling personal narrative–even if a student thinks they have “nothing to write about.” I have worked closely with Princeton Tutoring’s founders to develop the college essay program used by all of our tutors. My students have gained acceptance to schools like: MIT, the University of Chicago, the University of Michigan, Tufts, Boston University, Georgetown, Fordham, Villanova, Georgia Tech, Emory, Northeastern, the University of Texas at Austin, University of Maryland, Penn State, Stonybrook, University of Connecticut, and Morehead Honors College at the University of Georgia.
In my free time, I enjoy reading gothic horror novels, playing indie video games, maintaining my Wordle streak, and soaking up the sun as I explore my local farmers market.
