About Me

Got a complicated concept? My students tell me that I can explain it simply and concisely. I am an experienced and dynamic teacher and tutor of History, Literature, Foreign Languages (Hebrew, German, Latin), and Jewish Studies. I have received training in tutoring the Verbal SAT and English ACT from one of New York's elite tutoring agencies. I will teach you how to how to ace the Critical Reading and Writing sections, including the Essay. I can also work with you on your writing, from high-school and college essays to doctoral dissertations--and everything in between. I have a Ph.D. in European History from Harvard University and a B.A. from Princeton (History, with minors in Jewish Studies and German Language and Culture).

I've been Adina's longest student - 27 years and counting. She has a remarkable ability to explain complex subjects in a simple way that is easy to understand. From help on middle school Hebrew homework to Duke and Yale Law School admissions essays, and everything in-between, she has been a thoughtful and helpful editor with a keen intellect and intense devotion to her students. You won't find a smarter and more helpful tutor in the entire City!
