Hi there! I'm Jessica, and I'm thrilled to offer tutoring services for middle school, high school, and college students. I specialize in the humanities, college essays, history, literature, college prep, SAT prep, beginner's violin, and all things writing. I recently graduated from Stanford with honors degrees in History and Philosophy, where I was lucky enough to work as a teacher for Stanford's residential humanities program. There I worked both remotely and in person with high school juniors, crafting and executing lesson plans, building and refining essays, and, most importantly, seeding passion. This work was profoundly fulfilling, and it inspires me to continue teaching in the humanities.

For the last five years, I have worked on a voluntary basis building and refining college application essays (including personal statements for medical school). Students I have tutored through the common app have been accepted to the University of Pennsylvania, New York University, UCLA and Northwestern, among other wonderful universities. Until now I have provided tutoring services without charge, and I am passionate about equity and accessibility. For this reason, my prices are highly negotiable for low income students.
