After graduating with my Master’s in Philosophy from Brandeis University outside of Boston, I moved to Los Angeles and completed my Ph.D. at UCLA’s Department of Political Science. I hope to stay in academia and continue to do what I love most: inspire students to achieve all they can. When I am not tutoring, teaching at UCLA or conducting my own research, I love traveling, basketball, and hiking.
ABOUT ME
MY TEACHING EXPERIENCE
My decade of teaching experience across Los Angeles and Boston, including roles as a Lecturer and Teaching Apprentice at UCLA and Brandeis University, has given me a unique perspective on education at multiple levels. Working extensively with undergraduate students has enriched my ability to prepare younger students for academic success. I help them develop stronger writing skills, prepare effectively for entrance exams, and gain valuable insights into the expectations of higher education. My expertise spans a diverse range of subjects, including AP courses (Government and Politics, US History, World History), English, Philosophy, Debate, and Humanities. I’ve also assisted students with approaches to college admissions essays and have a proven track record of helping students improve their scores on standardized tests, including the ISEE, SAT, ACT, CBEST, and CSET, particularly in Reading, Language, and Writing sections. By drawing on my experience across different educational levels and institutions, I offer students more than just subject matter expertise – I provide them with a comprehensive understanding of how their current studies connect to their future academic journey.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I tailor my teaching style to the specific needs of each student and their goals. I strive to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each student in order to create a long-term plan for the achievement of their goals. I believe students learn better when they are engaged in their studies, so I always try to foster an enjoyable atmosphere. Along with the achievement of a student’s individual aims, if I can do my part to help instill the values of a lifetime of learning, I believe a student will be set for future success.
