"I’m a senior at Cornell University’s Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, majoring in finance. With a 3.8 GPA and a consistent spot on the Dean’s List, my coursework in finance, accounting, and economics has sharpened my problem-solving, analytical reasoning, and communication skills—essential for effective teaching and mentoring.
I’ve worked with students across various age groups and subjects. East Harlem Tutorial Program: I tutored middle school students in math and English, helping raise their test scores by 25% through tailored, step-by-step instruction. Ski Instructor at Mohawk Mountain: Teaching skiing to kids aged 9-12 strengthened my ability to explain new concepts in an engaging, structured way. Helping My Younger Brother: As the go-to homework helper, I’ve developed a knack for adapting explanations to different learning styles. Mentoring Peers and Sorority Sisters: I guide younger students and friends with academic strategies, career advice, and recruiting preparation, ensuring my guidance is clear, practical, and actionable.
I’m passionate about helping students build confidence in English, math, and vocabulary by making learning intuitive and engaging. I believe mastering these subjects goes beyond memorization—it’s about recognizing patterns, thinking critically, and applying knowledge in real-world situations. My approach breaks down complex ideas into clear, manageable steps, whether it’s reading comprehension, expanding vocabulary, or tackling math problems. With experience in structured tutoring programs and informal mentoring, I’ve taught in one-on-one and small group settings and always aim to make learning approachable and effective. Whether improving grades, mastering a skill, or building long-term confidence, I focus on fostering a positive and enjoyable learning environment. I look forward to working with you and helping you succeed!" less...
