As a Doctor (PhD) of English, former English instructor at Harvard and Northeastern Universities, and current Professor of Critical Text Analysis at University of New Mexico, I have extensive experience ensuring student success and teaching online in a way tailored to individual student needs.

My work as a tutor began after I received my BA with Highest Honors and Distinction in the English major from UC Santa Barbara. In the seven years since, I have taken pride in my ability to tutor high school and college students from a wide range of backgrounds and levels while teaching writing and literature courses at the university level. The PhD in English I received from Northeastern in 2023 equips me to ensure student success, no matter the student.

In all of my teaching, both in the college classroom and one on one, I aspire to help students become better readers and writers and, ultimately, responsible and ethical citizens. I have a proven track record of success. My tutoring clients have been admitted to universities like Johns Hopkins, UC Berkeley, and the Gallatin school at NYU using essays we developed; I am just as proud to say that I have helped graduate students defend dissertations on advanced STEM and humanities topics.

My accolades are a testament to my abilities. During the PhD program, I won the Graduate Essay Prize from the Northeastern English Department, published work in the interdisciplinary journal ImageText, and completed each phase of the program with Distinction. At UCSB, I graduated with Highest Honors, the Dean of Undergraduate Education Award, English Honors, Distinction in the Major, the Academic Excellence Award, Letters and Sciences Honors 2012-2016, Dean's Honors 2012-2016, and as a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Before college, I attained a 2260 SAT score, with a perfect 800 on writing. Upon pursuing my graduate education, I scored a 168 on the Verbal Reasoning portion of the GRE and a 5.5 on the Analytical Writing portion, putting me in the top 2% of test-takers.

As a PhD student in English, I use my lifelong skill as a writer to help others succeed.

Prior to my graduate studies, I scored a perfect 800 on the SAT Writing, and in the 98th percentile on the GRE. I have extensive experience working through essays, conference papers, theses, and all other sorts of writing to iron out mistakes, clarify ideas, and get the job done.

I graduated from UC Santa Barbara as an English major. In addition to receiving highest honors, I graduated with English honors and distinction in the major after completing an independent thesis. As an English major I read complex literature daily and engaged in rigorous reading comprehension activity, reflected by my high SAT and pGRE scores in that area.

I scored an 800 on the SAT Writing, the highest score one can receive. Since then, as a distinguished graduate in the English major, I have only improved my writing skills. My academic and creative writing has been exceptionally received by my peers and former professors, and shall hopefully continue to be lauded as I enter graduate school for English next year.

As a private tutor, I have helped students with college searches and application materials throughout the past six years. My students have been admitted to schools like NYU's exclusive Gallatin School and UC Berkeley. My exemplary writing skills as a PhD Candidate in English have enabled me to assist students at the high school, collegiate, and post-collegiate levels with application materials. I have guided students through application writing strategies for a wide range of disciplines, from STEM, to law, to business, to not-quite-sure-yet.
