About Me
Hello! I was born and raised in New York, and completed my undergrad at Cornell University where I majored in Economics and Near Eastern Studies. I worked as an Economics tutor during my time in Cornell and worked as a swim instructor growing up, so I have experience teaching and working with students one on one. I love to read (specifically contemporary American literature), bake (lots of sourdough, but sweets as well), and play guitar and am currently completing my MSc in Environmental Economics at the London School of Economics.I am happy to help students with any of the following:

Experience / Qualifications
Tutoring Experience: During my time at Cornell I helped students who were struggling in their intermediate Economics courses. I worked directly with students to help them with their problem sets and prepare for exams. I learned that the goal of tutoring wasn't simply to help students get the correct answers, but also to truly understand the concepts.Teaching Experience: During the summer of my first year of university I worked as a counselor for children ages 12-17. I helped children develop new skills, overcome obstacles and make the most of their summer.
Professional Experience: Before I started my masters program I was working in NYC as a project manager where I helped manage a data product, using Excel, Powerpoint and Tableau to analyze and present data to clients.
Economics is a valuable lens through which student can learn to analyze the world around them and understand how businesses make decisions and how larger economic systems work. This class would be helpful for any students enrolled in an economics course who need extra help with their homework or understanding either the mathematical concepts or the intuition behind what they are learning.

Essay writing dissertation writing in a humanities or social sciences subjectI have a PhD in Theology from Cambridge. I studied English Literature as an undergraduate. I have 20+ years of experience teaching English and 10+ years of experience coaching students how to write an engaging personal statement and editing dissertations, papers, and research proposals.
I can work with you on how to write an academic essay in a humanities or social sciences subject. Do note that while my background is in Theology and English, I can guide you on how to write an academic paper in other subjects since research papers follow the same format. However, I will not be able to advise you on subject-specific details.

IB English Lang/Lit SL/HL tutoring to help you with your essay writing for HL essays and form ideas while speaking coherently in your IOsAfter completing IB English Lang/Lit HL and receiving 7s in my HL Essays and IO, I am ready to help others achieve their highest potential when it comes to essay writing.
In my recent written university work I have received 80+/100 and this grade range is the Highest Distinction.
We will begin with a first lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. This is especially important when it comes to planning and writing HL essays and IOs. I will provide you with feedback, help you structure your work and read through it with you. I will also set deadlines for the next class that I expect you to meet. Keep in mind I pay great attention to grammar, spelling and overall clarity. IOs can be especially daunting, the idea of speaking for 10 minutes straight in essay format scared me too but I did it and received a 7, and I am here to provide you with tips and advice on how to achieve this.
I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism for their work. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!
