About
As a PhD Candidate in History at the University of Oxford, I have extensive experience with academic writing and literary analysis. I have also been a writing tutor since 2015, helping students improve their coursework, as well as their applications for undergraduate and graduate programs, scholarships, and employment opportunities.
Note: I do not work with children under the age of 11.
I appreciate the challenge of coming up with creative solutions that work for each student’s individual needs, and I particularly enjoy using humor to establish a rapport. I have extensive experience with students with executive functioning difficulties and learning differences, including students with IEPs and 504s.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to discuss a student's goals, assess their previous writing skills and development, and help them achieve greater confidence and independent critical thinking throughout the writing and analytical process.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from Northwestern University with a B.A. in English and European History (Magna cum Laude) in 2015, from the University of Oxford (with Distinction) with an M.St. in British and European History in 2016, and I am a current DPhil Candidate in History at the University of Oxford. In addition to my studies, I have received departmental teaching training through the Preparation for Learning and Teaching at Oxford program and have earned the Developing Learning and Teaching certification from Oxford's Research Centre in the Humanities. I used this training as an assistant teacher for an undergraduate seminar on the Wars of the Roses.
