About Me:

I am a tutor of nine years experience specializing in enrichment, ESL, and the college application process. ESL students have found themselves more relaxed in conversation and enjoying the process of language acquisition. College application students of mine have, achieved score improvement of 150+ points, scores of 1590 and 26 on the SAT and ACT respectively, and received admissions to Horace Mann, Oxford, UMich, MIT, Barnard, Harvard, Columbia, and USC. Enrichment students have working fluency in college economics at the age of 12, learned to tactfully curry favor with professors so that rules and grades are adjudicated in their favor,

Academic Neurosis:

Is your biggest academic problem that you’re freaking the fuck out? I can help with that. Holding space for your difficult emotions and helping you break work into manageable tasks, I’ll stay with you as you work through the projects that haunt you, and I’ll help you negotiate leniency when you misstep, keeping your GPA intact.

Academic Overachievement

Are you the kinda person who would win the hunger games? Do you like every assignment you turn in to be excellent, but like the time, energy, and focus to make that happen? Working with me, I will improve your efficiency, help you identify the areas of the essay most valuable to work on, and find that perfect turn of phrase that will make your work product shine.

Academic noncompliance

It is common for children to simply not want to do the academic tasks that would benefit them in the long run. Unless you find the actual content of school interesting or receive emotional validation from the results of schooling, it’s unfun, unpaid labor. I can help make it fun, and I can haggle to trade fun for what is inherently just gonna suck.
