About
I'm a PhD candidate at Yale University, where I've spent the past five years teaching writing-intensive courses in religious studies, classics, and the humanities more broadly. I have an MPhil and an MA from Yale, and a BA in Classics from The University of Chicago. As a teaching fellow and writing tutor, I've worked directly with undergraduate and graduate students to strengthen their analysis of literature, their research skills, and their analytical and expository writing.
I specialize in English and writing at all levels: analytical essays, research papers, thesis development, essay organization, literary analysis, and college application essays. I also tutor AP English Language and Literature, SAT Reading and Writing, History, and work with younger students on reading comprehension (I volunteer with an afterschool reading program in New Haven). For students learning English as a second language, I can help with writing, reading, and conversation practiceI taught ESL to adults through a night school program, and speak multiple languages fluently. If you're learning Latin, ancient Greek, or Coptic, I can help with that too.
When I'm tutoring, I don't just mark up your paper and hand it back. Instead, I ask questions that help you figure out what's working and what isn't. I believe that real improvement happens when students learn to ask themselves, "Wait, what am I actually trying to argue here?" and "Does this evidence really prove my point?" I'm especially good at helping students read texts closely and with interest, develop strong, well-supported arguments, and articulate complex, well-organized ideas.
I have been teaching online since the pandemic, and I am completely comfortable with virtual tutoring. I have a flexible schedule, and can work with students in the evenings and on weekends as needed.
