Hello! I’m a recent Yale graduate currently working in New York City as a poet on a postgraduate creative writing fellowship. I have over four years of experience tutoring, and the subjects I tutor include reading, writing, college essay, test prep (ACT/SAT), and history. Open and comfortable communication is always my top priority in tutoring relationships–no question is too small or basic! I love getting to work with students over time and see them steadily improve. Outside of tutoring, I’m working towards one day publishing my own novels. I spend my down time re-watching Star Trek, exploring the city, and eating spicy food with my friends. I’m excited to work with you!
