Award-Winning Tutors from Columbia University in the City of New York

My teaching philosophy can be best summarized as assisting the student to think for him or herself and helping them gain confidence in their academic abilities I focus on a holistic approach to problem solving and academics, and pay special attention to personalize my services to the individual student's needs and personality. I have been a private tutor for over 6 years. My first assignments were requests from classmates to assist them in Pre-AP Chemistry and Mathematics. I attended Texas State Honors Math Camp to advance my mathematical skills where I learned to collaborate and gained exposure to different ways of explaining and conceptualizing mathematical problems. I have also worked with teenagers as a residential camp counselor and as well as teaching a New York City Ballet dancer for an accelerated GED high school certification program. My vast international travel and academic background has enabled me to effectively adapt and strategize for a variety of courses and tests. I also assist students with college admissions counseling and preparation, as well as essay reading and writing assistance. I look forward to working with you to help you achieve your goals!

I graduated from Tufts University in 2012 with degrees in Italian Studies, History, and Communications, and I continue to utilize all three fields. Writing my thesis on the continuity of fascism in Italian film, I earned my Master's degree in Modern European Studies from Columbia University in 2014, and, still proudly calling New York my home, I am currently pursuing my doctorate in Italian Studies at Columbia.I have been tutoring and teaching students of all ages (from grades 4 and 5 to the university level) for almost a decade, but I now especially focus on foreign languages -- Spanish and Italian chiefly among them -- and test prep. I believe that I am a great fit for most students, since I realize that there several types of learning; I try to design each lesson that meets both the students' needs and outside interests.My own outside interests include cooking, traveling (20 countries & counting!), photography, reading, and, of course, watching the New York Jets on Game Day!

I have been teaching for five years and am happy to say that I love my job more each day. I started my teaching career at a high school in Philadelphia and now teach sixth grade English and Math at a Quaker school. I have experience working with students ages third to twelfth grade and especially love tutoring writing and math. I currently tutor students at my middle school and have two years of experience tutoring for the SSATs. I have my Masters in Special Education and Secondary Math. I graduated from Columbia University in 2010 where I majored in history.I believe every student has the ability, when given the correct resources, to learn. I will be dedicated to helping your student maximize their learning and gain confidence with all academic subjects.

Highly experienced tutor with diverse subject expertise. Substantial knowledge on standardized test-taking for high school, college, and graduate levels. Fantastic track record for accelerating both group and individual concept-learning and improving student performance expeditiously. A thorough and attentive professional with excellent communication and problem-solving skills who works wonderfully with students to provide an amazing customer experience.

I graduated from UCLA with a B.S. in Math with a minor in Statistics in 2010. I have been a tutor since 2006, a freshman year in college. Since then I have helped more than 50 students achieve their academic goals and be a mentor for non-academic counseling as well (e.g. career mentoring, what are your values in life etc). I will be tutoring mainly graduate test prep, particularly the GMAT, but I can tutor any college subject materials as well (mainly in Math, Statistics, and any business subjects). I have had a successful career outside of tutoring as well so if you are aspiring to work in business after college and want to know about things like how to break into a certain career path then I can be a great resource for you as well. If you are studying for the GMAT and want to know about Columbia Business School, I can share my thoughts as a current student and share my admissions insights as well.I believe that tutoring is actually building a strong friendship. I do not do this for money but because I really love to see those who I have personal rapport with succeed in their life. I will do my best to find the best way for you not only to ahchieve a certain academic result but also to find and achieve any other life-long goals.I am generally available all throughout the week (morning, day & night), provided that the schedule does not conflict with my class schedule. I will be avialable generally all year-round except during the breaks due to reasons mainly related to internship & my personal schedule.

Hello! I am Janaya Joyner. I am a classroom teacher, who loves to tutor on the side. I enjoy having the chance to use my excellent communication skills, interpersonal skills, and the ability to resolve any challenges my future students may have to further their personal growth. I have had experience from Kindergarten all the way to 9th grade! Along these lines, I wish to help the young children understand the importance of citizenship, confidence and personal independence through educational experiences.My educational background and experiences at different Schools, including schools for the deaf as well, has prepared me for the role of evolving into the best Teacher/tutor I always imagined being. I am eager to potentially contribute my enthusiasm and up-to-date skills to your children. I am certain that my confidence, meticulous work ethics, and professional abilities will give you a greater understanding of my qualifications for this opportunity. Looking forward with working with you!

I am a passionate educator with over eight years of teaching and tutoring experience. I have worked with many different kinds of learners during my career as a public school teacher, and I understand that every student has their own unique way of growing and of mastering skills. I have experience teaching a wide variety of literature and non-fiction texts and am very familiar with the Common Core and its emphasis on research skills. I especially enjoy teaching writing; I myself love to write and I teach students a clear process for approaching challenging essay assignments. Above all, I believe that learning should be meaningful and enjoyable and that any academic task is part of a student's personal journey of discovery.My undergraduate education at Columbia University gave me a thorough understanding of British, American, Latino, and African-American literature. My Master of Arts program in Adolescent English Education at Hunter College has enhanced my knowledge of literature while also covering the teaching skills that allow me to help students to master difficult concepts.I am a confident teacher of test preparation skills. I provide reading and writing strategies that empower students to perform at a high level on selected-response, short response, and essay questions. I emphasize the importance of analyzing test questions and passages so that students have a clear "plan of attack" on test day.My personal interests include playing guitar, songwriting, Tai Chi, and meditation.

I am a graduate student pursuing a Masters in Public Health at Columbia University's Mailman School. I completed a B.A. at Yale University in the History of Science & Medicine in May of 2011, and I am eager to work with Varsity Tutors in order to help other students achieve their academic goals.I have been tutoring at a variety of levels since I was in elementary school, and have discovered that I truly love the opportunity to help others gain a better understanding of whatever subject matter is at hand. Reading and writing are my specialty; words are something I have always found to have great power, and assisting others in expressing their thoughts in nuanced, articulate ways has become a great passion of mine. I try to find a balance between structure and creative thinking when it comes to my tutoring style, and I firmly believe that everyone is capable of achieving great things given the right environment and skill set.Often, people discover my educational history and assume that I am an academic robot: all work and no fun. I can assure you, however, that this is far from true! I am a down-to-earth, outgoing, and trustworthy person, and though I have a concrete sense of professional conduct and responsibility, I have always found that building a rapport and a friendly relationship with clients leads to infinitely more success than a purely businesslike exchange. It is my goal to provide guidance within a comfortable environment, which facilitates a much more personalized, pleasant tutoring experience.In my free time, I enjoy singing, acting, being an amateur photographer, eating amazing food, going to museums, reading as many articles on the New York Times website as possible, and spending time with my friends.

I am a fourth-year undergraduate at Columbia University double majoring in economics and environmental science. I have three years of tutoring experience and can assist with test prep, calculus, economics, biology, chemistry and Spanish.

I graduated from Columbia University in 2009, with a degree in Cultural Anthropology. Because Anthropology is a grab-bag of different areas (psychology, philosophy, sociology, literary studies), I have a very wide-ranging passion for the humanities. I live to read, write, converse, and analyze. My passion for instruction goes back to 2007; when I was still in college, I volunteered to teach percussion at a parochial school in Harlem. This experience was so rewarding that it set me on the path of education forever. Since then, I've enjoyed helping students learn in a number of different environments: from teaching the GED to service-work union members in Center City, to serving an at-risk population with English support in North Philadelphia. For all of my nerdy interests, I've been told I'm a very laid-back character. I value kindness and open communication between pupil and tutor. I want you to help you learn, not to be your drill sergeant! That being said, I do have high expectations for my students, because you should hold yourself to high standards if you want to improve your skills. Outside of instruction/studies, I played basketball in high-school, although ultimately other interests took over and I never pursued hoops on the college level; however, I still enjoy playing several days a week. I'm also a musician/engineer playing in several bands at once and recording various artists in the Philadelphia area. In addition to being a musician, I'm a published poet and an avid reader of poetry. I hope we can work together to expand your knowledge and scholarly confidence!

I'm a graduate of The University of Michigan with a dual degree in Mathematics and Economics with highest honors and I currently hold a finance research appointment at Columbia Business School. Having dedicated my time to master quantitative subjects such as Math, Econ and Stats, I hope to share my knowledge with students who need help with these subjects or students who are looking to expand their knowledge beyond what's taught in class.During my undergraduate studies, I tutored one-on-one and in small groups to students at the University of Michigan on introductory / intermediate Macroeconomics and Microeconomics. I also taught statistics and pre-calc / calc. From this experience, I developed a passion for helping students gain confidence in math and build their skills. I just relocated to NYC a couple of months ago to being my research appointment at Columbia Business School, so I am looking for new students to tutor.Additionally, I received a perfect GRE quant score. I have mastered all of the question on this test. I am willing to provide tricks to tackle all of the questions in the GRE quant section in order to solve them as fast as possible. Time is always a binding constraint when it comes to the GRE or any standardized test and I am willing to provide help on this. I can also tutor SAT Math.Contact me if you are interested in my services or would like to know more about me.

I am a Columbia University alumna who majored in biology. I have experience tutoring geometry, algebra, biology, SAT and other subjects.

I've always liked helping people and I think sharing my many, many years of work experience (especially software engineering) allows me to give real-world knowledge to those who thirst for knowledge. Or even to those who just want to pass a test.

Hi, I'm Safia! Having tutored for the LSAT for over two years, and having gone through the process of applying and being accepted to law school myself (Columbia Law School), I am confident that I can be an incredible tutor for you.I am a recent graduate from Columbia University, majoring in human rights and comparative religion, while also holding a degree in political science from Sciences Po. However, I also have an extensive background in literature, history, and political science, having been an AP Scholar in those subjects. I currently work as a university tutor for essay writing and LSAT prep, following my work at Hunter College High School as a teaching assistant for 7th grade social studies and as a tutor for individual students for primary school math and science courses.Raised by international travelers and humanitarian workers, I have grown up in the midst of political turmoil during my time living in Cairo, Damascus, Paris, Amman, and Menton, spurring my interest in politics and other humanitarian issues facing the developing world early on. I truly love tutoring as it allows me to help others cultivate their knowledge and abilities and realize their full potential. I'm incredibly understanding when it comes to the individuality of learning and how each student responds differently, and having worked with so many different types of students on a variety of topics, I can assure you that we will be able to work together to help you or your child thrive.

When I was younger my mother used to ground me from reading books. Like any other child, when my older sister got into trouble, she was grounded from visiting her friends' houses or watching TV. But when I didn't clean my room or stayed out too long with my friends, I was grounded from reading books. I used to have to sneak my library books home from school in my sister's backpack (since my mom would never think to look for books there). It was a whole operation. Each week, I would go to the library and use my advanced library card that allowed me to check out more than 10 books at a time to select my books for the next week. At the end, I would stash half of the books in my locker at school and beg my sister to transport the rest home in her backpack. In exchange, I did half of her chores for the week. This lasted for as long as my "grounding" lasted. And it was during these periods of book smuggling that my love for learning really blossomed. My mom had her reasons for her unique punishment style: part to to discipline me, of course, but also to reinforce my love of reading. This seems counter-intuitive, I know, but by recognizing books and my love of reading as something valuable, as something worthy of being grounded from, my mom was instilling in us and the value of knowledge.As a junior in college, I no longer have to smuggle books home in my sister's backpack, but what I learned from the days of having to do so will never leave me. Knowledge is worthy of pursuing and we should do whatever is in our power to further our learning and help those around us do the same. I love sharing this story with my students because I believe every student has a passion like this. Maybe it's not reading for them; it could be drawing or sports or fashion. Whatever it is, there is some area of every student's life where they yearn for any extra kernel of knowledge. My goal as an educator is to learn that passion, motivate students to pursue it, and help them to do so by emphasizing the value of knowledge and learning.

Hi there! My name is Jeannette and I would be delighted to help your child reach his or her academic goals.My tutoring experience rests upon a solid educational foundation: After having graduated in the top 1% of my high school class, I obtained a BA, cum laude, in French and Romance Philology from Columbia University. I then moved to Paris and earned a French master's in Finance from Sciences Po, a school belonging to the "French Ivy League." I stayed in France for over four years before moving to Sweden to earn a second master's degree in Sustainable Development as an Uppsala University Scholar.Throughout my international studies and business career, I have taken the opportunity to tutor students of all ages--including those in elementary school, middle school, high school, and college. As a result, I am committed to providing a well-rounded, tailored, and fulfilling educational experience for your child.

I grew up in Littleton, Colorado and graduated from the University of Colorado in 2010 with a degree in English Literature and a minor in Economics. I gained most of my tutoring experience while living in East Africa over the last five years helping to start a school. I worked individually with both students and teachers helping mostly with reading and writing but also with teaching theories of education and learning. I am very excited to bring that experience back to here! I am currently studying for my Masters in Public Administration at Columbia University, so I get to be a part of the learning process again as well not just the teacher! I am especially passionate about reading, writing, and history, and I because I believe those subjects lay a critical foundation for all students no matter what they decide to study in college or what career path they decide to pursue. I love reading everything from classical literature, to historical biographies economic textbooks, so I am a bit of a nerd. I also grew up in Colorado, so I love the outdoors and doing things like rock climbing, hiking, and skiing. Probably more than anything though, I am passionate about Africa and issues of global poverty which is why I am going back to school at Columbia.

I graduated from Williams College, receiving honors with my B.A. in English Literature. In 2016, I will receive my M.A. in Art and Art Education from Columbia University. Since graduating from Williams, I have been teaching middle school English and high school art in public schools. With my 9 years of private tutoring experience, I also meet with clients all over New York City and Long Island, tutoring middle and high school students in Test Prep, Writing and Reading, and adults in English language.I believe in hard work and having fun while prepping for important tests. As a native New Yorker growing up here, I attended Hunter College High School and the Brearley School, so I know how important test prep is! Because of my experience as a teacher and student, I firmly believe that excelling at school not only leads to great academic opportunities, but also an essential sense of self-esteem and accomplishment. I believe that every student has the potential to achieve amazing things, and I will guide each and every one of them to that.In my spare time I like to see jazz, classical and rock concerts around the city, go to museums, make art, spend time with my pets, cook and exercise.

I am a driven Master of Architecture graduate from Columbia University, committed to exploring how design innovation, sustainability, and emerging technologies can meaningfully intersect to shape the future of the built environment. In addition to my academic work, I serve as an Adjunct Instructor at Dunwoody College of Technology, where I guide students through foundational design principles, technical skill-building, and critical thinking, fostering the next generation of architects and designers. My experience spans a diverse range of roles, from contributing editorial work within Columbia University's academic community to conducting research at renowned firms such as Gensler. These opportunities have allowed me to engage deeply with both theoretical and practice-based architectural discourse, refining my ability to communicate complex ideas, analyze evolving industry trends, and contribute to forward-thinking design solutions. Driven by curiosity and a commitment to meaningful impact, I aspire to advance conversations around architecture's role in addressing contemporary challengeswhether environmental, technological, or socialand to participate in shaping a more resilient, equitable, and innovative built world.

I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I primarily grew up in San Francisco, CA and Austin, TX. I study and work in New York City as student at Columbia University. I am currently a senior studying Biomedical Engineering with concentrations in computer science and electrical engineering. I attended high school at St. Andrew's Episcopal School where I focused extensively on mathematics and science. My high school also nurtured strong discussion and writing skills. Although I was also involved in sports and musicals, I enjoyed participating in academic competitions, in which I could explore my engineering interests, such as Science Olympiad and TEAMS. In high school, I primarily tutored in biology, physics, and mathematics. Tutoring was my way to gain teaching experience and give back to my school. In college, for similar reasons, I currently work as a TA in computer science. I also conduct glaucoma research in a clinical research lab.My tutoring approach is very methodical; I identify and isolate issues, while imparting fundamental knowledge and problem solving tips. The key to mastering any subject-I believe- is the ability to identify and understand grey areas and edge-cases in the material. I help my students identify these critical questions and answer them to the best of my abilities. I will admit, however, when I don't know the answer to a question. Rather than mislead my students, I always prefer to research an answer or attack the question together. I help my students get to the bottom of things.

I am a sophomore at Columbia University majoring in biochemistry with a concentration in mathematics. I am invested in helping students of all backgrounds understand the foundations of math and science that make studying the subjects so exciting. I have extensive experience tutoring in all levels of mathematics from algebra I to calculus, as well as introductory to AP levels of chemistry.

I graduated from Columbia University with a Master's in International Affairs, specializing in international economy and East Asia. I used to tutor as an online oral English teacher when I was in college, helping students across China in all age groups overcoming the initial difficulties of mastering a foreign language. I enjoyed the interaction with people from different backgrounds. It was also a very fulfilling moment to see how my knowledge and skills have helped to empower others. I believe charting out the right study plan and a keen sense of spotting students' weaknesses are essential for a tutor. Being personable, responsible, and patient are my tutoring principles. I have traveled extensively in the past in both Asia and Europe, and am excited to explore more far-flung places in the world. I would love not only to bring practical skills to my students, but also to introduce myself as a friend.

I am currently a fifth year MD/PhD student at Weill Cornell and I doing my PhD in genetics and neuroscience at Rockefeller university. I majored in biology at Columbia university. I am extremely passionate about teaching and maximizing students time, resources and success.

I am currently finishing the second year of my MBA at Wharton and graduated magna cum laude from Columbia University with a Bachelors in Economics and Philosophy. After school I will be working for Google on the Chromecast team and before school I started a sleep wearables company. I actually really enjoy taking standardized tests (weird I know) and am excited to impart some of the tips and tricks I have learned over the years on you!

I am a graduate of Columbia University with a bachelor's in Neuroscience (pre-med). I have tutored many high school students, mainly in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Having just taken the MCAT and scoring in the 97%, I have extensive knowledge in the sciences. I love teaching and believe in a personalized, student-based approach that emphasizes making mistakes to promote learning.

I am a recent graduate from Columbia University in MSc Actuarial Science with a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics. I have prior experience tutoring students during my bachelors in London, UK and thoroughly enjoyed it.Mathematics and economics are the main subjects which I love teaching and believe that to be successful while tutoring, it is important to relate the subject matter to real world examples.During my spare time, I enjoy playing soccer, martial arts and reading.

I am a junior at Columbia University double majoring in Financial Engineering and Computer Science. Since high school, I have extensively tutored French students for standardized testing (SAT/ACT). This helped me bridge the obvious language gap whilst breaking down the tests into their fundamentals to better grasp the strategy behind them. I firmly believe in learning-by-doing which is why I encourage all my students to try first before revising their methods and understanding of the subjects. I am fluent in French, Arabic, Hebrew, and English which I believe helps me communicate the very essence of the subject as opposed to a numbered list of tasks which might not help all types of students. In my spare time, I enjoy catching up on the Financial Times, trying my hand at new languages and designing clothing.

As a recent graduate from Columbia University, I am pursuing a career in theatre and education. I have helped teach a variety of subjects for many years now and I am excited to continue tutoring. I am a native Spanish speaker. I love learning and understand both traditional and creative learning techniques. I have worked with students of all ages. I understand the frustration of confusion along or not being challenged. This allows me to empathize and find different ways to help. There is so much to learn and seeing students progress is a gift and honor. I am incredibly hard working, passionate, and dedicated.

Hello!I have over a decade of experience tutoring, teaching, and mentoring children of all ages. My passion for the environment and health led me to study environmental sciences, and I have dedicated a great portion of my career in public health, working with environmental pediatric health topics, among others. I have a passion for children to thrive, and my hope is that your student may learn skills that will help him/ her to excel at school.

I enjoy helping kids of all ages understand math. Tutoring my 5 kids has taught me lessons and techniques on effective tutoring. Every one is different and the goal is to get them to truly understand the basics so more advanced math will be easier.

I graduated from Emory University in May 2015 with my BA in History and French. I am continuing my education at Columbia University's School of Social Work to receive my Masters in Social Work.I have had experience tutoring high school French, elementary/middle school math, science, social studies, and English/reading. My tutoring philosophy is based around the concept of being patient. It may take a student a while to understand a concept, but the moment when he or she does, it is extremely rewarding for the tutor, the parents, and the student. I like to instill confidence in my students as well as help them understand the academic lesson at hand.The best experience of my life was when I studied abroad in Paris during my junior year of college. I loved traveling around Europe, visiting museums, gardens, and historical sites, meeting the people and learning about their culture, and of course, trying the food. I learned about being independent and confident.In my spare time, I enjoy reading, cooking, traveling, and exercising.I look forward to working with you!

Greetings! I am passionate about helping students to express themselves more precisely and concisely, in keeping with the two most valued qualities in English language writing. I love helping you to write more clearly. I began teaching writing during my graduate education at Columbia University's School of the Arts, where I earned my MFA in Writing. In addition to teaching the required essay writing course for two years at Columbia, I spent a year on the faculty of Central European University in Budapest, Hungary. I have also worked in numerous writing centers in NYC. I have experience teaching everything from poetry to policy writing, and I enjoy the challenges of helping students to succeed no matter the genre.

Hi! My name is David and I recently graduated from Columbia with my Masters in Public Health. I am very passionate about science and I hope to dedicate my career to improving the environment and people's health. I've always enjoyed teaching whether I'm with my students as a TA or just with my friends helping them with assignments. I think understanding difficult concepts can be stressful at times so I hope to make learning enjoyable by simplifying hard questions and boosting my students' confidence.

I am currently a student at Columbia University studying Biomedical Engineering. Throughout high school, I tutored my peers in math, science, and standardized testing and found that I loved seeing my students passionate about what they are learning. Outside of tutoring, you can find me exploring the outdoors or tasting the newest restaurants in NYC.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I'm a graduate of the University of Michigan, with a BA in Environmental Studies and Philosophy. I also recently graduated with a Master of Environmental Management degree from the Yale School of the Environment in May 2020. In earning both of my degrees I gained experience with a mix of writing, humanities, and natural science that's given me a wide breadth of skills to share with students.I've also been accepted to the law schools at NYU, Columbia, and the University of Michigan, among others. I am very, very familiar with the process (and pain) of school applications, and always happy to advise on essays and application approaches.I'm trained in both SAT and LSAT prep, with three years' experience working one-on-one with students in a variety of contexts. I'm dedicated to environmental conservation and climate change advocacy-- hiking and canoeing are two of my favorite ways to spend free time. And if we get a chance to chat, be sure to ask about my bonsai collection!

I have a PhD in Russian from Columbia University, and 31 years of university-level teaching experience. Now that I'm a Professor Emeritus, I've became an art educator and language tutor. I've tutored people who were native speakers of French, Spanish, German, and Hungarian, among European languages; and of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, among Asian languages.And, actually, tutoring for SAT Prep and helping people improve their grades in high school English is not so different from that. When I do that kind of tutoring, I emphasize features of the very complicated English verb system such as colloquial phrasal verbs and their more formal equivalents ("to go back"/"to return").Of course, every student is different, and each teaching situation is different, so I bring to each session a prepared lesson that both reviews the previous lesson and works on new problems and ideas.

As an Ivy League graduate (Columbia University),I value hard work and integrity. I have been tutoring Mathematics, Physics, and Mathematical Economics for over 15 years, without counting services as Teaching Assistant in College.I completed part of my education in Europe, therefore I am also a fluent French speaker. I take pleasure in helping students excel in difficult subjects. I teach methods and organizational skills that are necessary for grasping a topic. Each student is different, therefore I tailor up my approach after diagnosis.

A little about myself: I'm a playwright living in Brooklyn, sticking to tutoring and other flexible work because it gives me the time and space need to work on my writing. I attended Columbia University as an Anthropology and Theatre major, and focused on writing while I was in school. After getting my BA, I stayed in New York! I've been tutoring here ever since I came to college, and generally stick to the humanities: English, history, literature, sociology, anthropology, and other analytical subjects. However, I'm also comfortable tutoring biology, since it's been a passion of mine since high school!I work with all ages, from elementary school to underclassmen in college, and my biggest priority is the student. Tutoring is far and away my favorite thing to do as a freelancer. Teaching - discussions, exercises, personal discoveries, and interesting thoughts - all of it is exciting to me, and gives me a mental boost that actually helps my writing! I find an easy rhythm in organizing lesson efficiently, and I pride myself on my ability to keep track of what's asked of me and how I can best put my efforts to use helping my students. I also love forming long-term relationships - I've been tutoring one family for more than 6 years, which is exactly how long I've been in New York!Outside of tutoring, I do a lot of yoga, work in theatre, hang out with my cat, and drink a ton of green tea! I also love to talk long, crazy nature walks, and I love hanging out in museums and parks and other hubs of activity in New York City. Always looking for the next fun thing!

I graduated with a degree in Biology from Columbia University, where I honed my passion for teaching as a peer tutor for organic chemistry and as a teaching assistant for multiple biology courses. Since graduating in 2015, I have worked in a dermatology clinic as a medical assistant, and am delighted to be starting medical school in the fall.While I tutor a broad range of topics, I am most passionate about science and reading/writing. While these seem like two entirely different subjects, I like to think of it this way - science is about understanding the world around us, which we access and make beautiful through literature. I have always enjoyed making these subjects as fun for my students to learn as they are for me to teach. My goal in teaching is to foster in my students a fiery curiosity, and enthusiasm for learning and critical thinking, and confidence in asking questions.In my free time, I enjoy making music (I play the piano, flute, and guitar!), visiting art museums, and yoga.
