Private tutor in New York, NY

Education

Certified Advanced Tutor (Level II) by the College Reading and Learning Association since 2008. Professional book editor by trade, working with both fiction and nonfiction authors through independently-founded editorial business following a career in corporate trade publishing. Graduated Magna Cum Laude with degrees in English and anthropology from North Carolina State University.

Experience

I am an internationally-certified tutor who has been working with high school, college, and graduate school students for twelve years. I typically work with top-tier private school students in New York City and Ivy League graduate students working on their theses, though I have experience with students from every level of education. I work with students on everything from academic essays to admissions counseling, in any writing stage from brainstorming/outlining an essay to editing the finished piece. Oftentimes I guide students through the entire writing process from start to finish, and I typically establish relationships with students that span multiple school years.

Hobbies

In addition to tutoring, I run a book editorial firm in New York that specializes in helping writers perfect and publish their books. It therefore goes without saying that I enjoy reading and writing above all! Ever since starting my own business, I have also developed a great interest in entrepreneurship and business management and have started offering business consulting to those establishing their own enterprises. In my spare time, I enjoy live music (especially the blues), practicing yoga, and creating artwork (though I wouldn't hang my paintings in anyone's house but my own).
