Experience Summary
I’ve tutored since college, running weekly after school sessions in Wellesley, MA, and then driving into Boston on weekends to tutor via programs like The Bell Foundation alongside Harvard and MIT peers. After college, I was T.A. and Resident Advisor to urban students in a summer college prep program with the University of Massachusetts Upward Bound Program. I was then recruited by the Boston Public Schools to develop an experimental arts curriculum as a summer school course for 4th and 5th grade students. I’ve received various awards and certificates throughout, including “Best Tutor,” “Best Overall Counselor,” and “Best Teacher.” In the last five years, I’ve tutored students in Reading, Writing, English and Math.
Teaching Style
If you can get kids interested, their fear of failing gives way to curiosity; and learning not only begins, it is a rite of passage to personal growth. In film, I use math to decide a scene's lighting ratio, and employ literary concepts to compose a frame. Yet whether building a camera or a set, I rely on tutor lessons over time: organization and a consistent, systematic approach are keys to success. I seek to set a similar foundation in my students. I am committed to helping them achieve, tirelessly and innovatively facilitating learning, being patient and encouraging their confidence even as I expect their best. Others have helped me; I wish to similarly aid my students beyond their perceived ceilings by guiding them to success.
