About Me

Hi! I'm here to help! Mostly, I work with students looking for help in economics, the sciences and writing (my SAT II writing score was 790). I work with all age groups but have the most experience with high school students. For me, tutoring is such a rewarding experience because each student is unique. I enjoy creating a personalized plan with each student and watching them accomplish their goals! I am very patient, organized and personable and strive to make every tutoring experience both fun and inspiring.

A bit about me: I have a Master of International Affairs (MIA) in Environmental Policy and Sustainable Urban Development from Columbia University and a personalized Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Development from the University of Delaware. I have worked on environmental issues in various roles at the United Nations and have worked in countries such as Fiji, Barbados, Sri Lanka, Peru and Costa Rica.
