Experience
After attending a competitive private school in New York City, I attended Boston College. I earned my English degree, and graduated cum laude. In addition to my academic studies, I participated in sports and was involved in music. I know how difficult it can be as a student. There is a great deal of pressure, and I have sincere empathy for the students I tutor. The first thing I foster in the students I tutor is the belief that no matter what difficulties they face, they can conquer them and move on to be successful and take pride in the education. With an ever increasing pressure students in the city feel from family and outside influences, I like to provide a haven that is pressure free, and focused only on the current subject. I strive to build a rapport with them, so that our time together feels comfortable and safe, and they are not afraid to make the mistakes that are actually necessary in order to learn. I believe learning from mistakes is the main way students learn. I am available to tutor in numerous math and English subjects, as well as Italian language. I can also help students prepare for standardized tests like the SAT.
