As an Ivy league senior, I have learned to have impeccable organization skills, focus, and studying habits. In May of this year I will have a BA in Near Eastern Studies with a double certificate in French and Women & Gender Studies. I speak English, French and Arabic fluently. I have won many writing awards and have a very deep understanding of grammar and how to write anything from a research paper to college essays, resumes, and journalistic pieces. I have tutored students in history, English, music theory, French and Arabic. I have worked extensively with children and adults in the study of a variety of different subjects. I am very patient, friendly, and considerate. I am a firm believer that learning should be an enjoyable and fun process that engages the student to think both critically and creatively.

I love teaching and working with children of all ages. As an undergraduate, I participated in a Writing Fellowship, which allowed me to meet with students to work on their writing. Through this individualized tutoring style, I developed an appreciation for working one-on-one with students and peers, and began to develop a highly personal, creative style of tutoring. Over the course of my teaching experience, I have found that students learn best when they are comfortable yet appropriately challenged. It is my goal to distinguish the learning style of each individual student that I work with and from there, develop a plan to meet their goals. I am currently back in the Reading area after completing two years with Teach For America on Chicago's Southside. While there, I taught 9th Grade English/Test Prep and 6th Grade writing, which I loved! Two years ago, I graduated from Barnard Coll
