TUTORING

I'm a Columbia grad and experienced tutor who can work either remotely or locally in NYC. I've tutored at all levels, K-12 and beyond. Read more about my credentials below.

My Academic Background

I've got lots of college essay writing experience, having been a Dean's List student at Yale for one year before transferring to Columbia.

 

At Columbia, I was an English major. I spent the better part of four years reading and writing about books and plays (and Shakespeare, jazz, and more).

Professional Writing Experience

I’ve worked as a Press Director and copywriter for Off Broadway theaters and music management companies.

 

My writing has been featured on corporate websites and in publications like Playbill, BroadwayWorld, Theatermania, and Columbia student newspapers.
