English Tutoring

I love to read and I'm studying English and Philosophy at Boston College, so I feel prepared to help students who struggle with critical analysis, writing/organizing papers, and how to read carefully. Also, if you want to learn to enjoy your English classes, I could help with that too. In Highschool, I preferred my math/science classes, but I had a revelation that English is important to me. I would try my best to help you experience a similar excitement about English.

Literature Tutoring

In Highschool, I took American Lit., Post-Modern Lit., and a class on the Beats Generation. In College, I have taken Classics of Russian Lit., Studies in Poetry, Studies in Narrative, a class on Joyce's Ulysses, and a summer class in Venice in which we read Brodsky, Mann, and Proust. From my Philosophy major, I have also read a lot of critical theory and literary criticism. I would love to share my analytical techniques, reading practices, and writing strategies with any students who seek some extra help.

Philosophy Tutoring

I love Philosophy and hence, I'm working towards a BA in philosophy for next year. In college, I have enjoyed my many philosophy classes, such as a class on Political Philosophy in Chile, a class called "Perspectives" which was a massive 6 credit full year course that covered everything from Socrates and Plato up until Nietzsche and Freud. I took a class on Existentialism, as well as a class called "Philosophy of Imagination". I would love to help prospective students learn to read philosophy, and even learn to appreciate it as an essential academic subject.

Reading Comprehension Tutoring

As an English and Philosophy major, I have learned to look for details while reading. While there are certainly a variety of exercises and learned techniques and tricks that can help students become more attentive readers, I think the best way to improve is through practice. In order to teach Reading Comprehension, I would share the methods of reflection and analysis that I have learned in my college courses, but I would also put students in contact with books that that they may find intriguing so that students can begin to read analytically and improve on their own.

Spanish II Tutoring

Having studied spanish all my life, I was able to finally achieve fluency after a month long summer course in Santiago, Chile, and a semester abroad in Bilbao, Spain. While in Bilbao, I continued studying Philosophy and English Literature, but I took my classes in Spanish so as to further develop grammar, writing, reading, and conversational skills. While in High School, there were moments when I thought Spanish was superfluous and unnecessary, but I am now glad that I continued to study Spanish because it has allowed me to travel and meet my best friends. I would hope to help students see the potential rewards of attaining Spanish proficiency.

Writing Tutoring

As an English and Philosophy major, I am constantly reading great authors and practicing my own writing techniques. Apart from English class essays, my philosophy classes and a "First Year Writing Seminar" have helped me develop a writing process that I enjoy and that works well for me. For students who need extra help with writing essays, I would happily help them find their own specific writing process by sharing the multitude of techniques that I have learned.

Homework Coach Tutoring

What is the best way to study? With friends? Alone? With a ham sandwich or a chocolate reward at the end of every segment? Everyone studies differently, but I hope to help students find the way that best suits their natural dispositions. From my Philosophy classes, I have been inspired to test a variety of study practices and I have finally found the techniques that work best for me. By sharing the creative processes and exercises I have learned from professors and my peers, I hope to help my students discover their unique study methods.

Algebra Tutoring

While my major is Philosophy and English, I enjoy math and I have taken Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra in college. Also, I was once an Economics Major. From my economics classes, I have learned some of the practical applications of mathematics that function to predict how the global market works. Math may seem daunting, but after recognizing its many uses, it becomes a more exciting subject. I hope to share the mathematical strategies and tricks that I have learned with any students who want to better understand and even enjoy solving problems.
