Hello! My name is Miranda, and I graduated with a degree in Politics and minor in Quantitative and Analytical Political Science. At Princeton, I worked as a statistics tutor, and I’ve taught English as a second language to students of all ages – from elementary schoolers in Senegal to adult learners in Trenton. After graduation, I worked in advocacy and litigation support at the Southern Poverty Law Center.
In the first year of my Erasmus Mundus Master in Global Studies (EMGS) dual degree, I completed LSE’s MSc in Global Economic History. I spent the third semester of my EMGS degree at the Centre for Economic Studies and Planning (CESP) of Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi. I concluded my Erasmus Mundus Global Studies (EMGS) degree at the University of Vienna, where I pursued intensive German study and completed research seminars on Global Studies and international supply chains and geopolitics.
I am perpetually learning and teaching, and I love sharing the joy of understanding a new concept with learners while helping them build up their confidence. I’m excited to help students with test preparation (SAT/SSAT) and course tutoring, especially in math and history.
