Hello! My name is Paige, and I graduated from Princeton University with an AB in Molecular Biology and a Minor in Dance. I have over 5 years of experience tutoring and working as a teaching assistant at both the high school and undergraduate level. I am particularly passionate about tutoring STEM subjects–including all levels of biology, chemistry, physics, and math–and helping students build a deeper understanding of topics that seem complex or intimidating. I love helping students navigate the college admissions process as well, helping students gain confidence in their writing and providing feedback and guidance on essay drafts. I also have experience tutoring for all sections of the SAT, with a specialty in the math section.
I worked as a tutor with Princeton Tutoring for all four years of college, and though I am now based in New York City–where I work as a lab technician for a biotech company as well as a freelance contemporary dancer–I have continued to work with students in the Princeton area through online tutoring. I love having the opportunity to form lasting relationships with my clients and have worked with many of my tutoring students for multiple years across different subjects. I look forward to getting to know you!
