Qualifications:
- MY TRAINING: As a published poet and an alum of both the University of Oxford (MSt in Creative Writing) and Amherst College (BA in English), I've personally experienced excellent teaching in action, and I have a passion for making English language and literature accessible and enjoyable for each and every one of my students.
- MY EXPERIENCE AS A WRITING COACH: I have 3 years of experience as a Writing Specialist at Thinktown Education, where I've edited over 1,000 drafts of college application essays from non-native English speakers. This has given me invaluable insight into common errors which students make at all stages of the writing process. I've also had lots of practice helping students express and refine their own unique ideas, in their own words, from their point of view.
- MY INTERNATIONAL EXPOSURE: I've been educated at top institutions in the US, the UK, Argentina, and Jamaica, and I've worked extensively with students from Latin America and China. This diverse exposure has made me very comfortable working with both local and international students to meet a wide range of educational needs and interests.
The most rewarding aspect of tutoring is undoubtedly the look on a student's face when the light bulb turns on, regardless of how "small" the accomplishment. Whether a student grasps a grammatical concept they've been struggling with, or writes a fantastic essay for the first time, or even manages to pronounce a single sentence perfectly, I consider it a privilege to be a part of that learning process.
EDUCATION
- University of Oxford | Oxford, UK (2017-2019)

EXPERIENCE
Writing Specialist, Thinktown Education Inc. (2016-Present)
- I've remotely edited 1,000+ essay drafts to date for international students applying to US colleges.
