"Hi, I’m Starlyte. I graduated from Columbia University in the City of New York. I have a passion for teaching, mentoring, and empowering students to achieve their goals. My mission is to provide tailored support, connect you with the right resources, and address key gaps in understanding. I create a safe, supportive environment where you’re encouraged to ask questions, think critically, and develop problem-solving skills that extend beyond the classroom.

I equip students with the academic foundation, mindset and strategy needed to excel on standardized tests: SAT, ACT, ISEE, PSAT, GED, SHSAT, SSAT, and TACHS. I also help students tackle challenging problems with clarity and confidence in courses (e.g. Algebra 1 and Public Speaking). As President of Columbia’s Model Congress Debate Team, I learned how to coach others. I adapt my teaching approach to meet the unique needs of each person, ensuring they feel confident and capable in their academic journey.

Social Sciences: I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Columbia University, with a focus on areas including the Unconscious Mind, Social Cognition and Emotion, Personality Development, and Behavior. I'm excited to share the study methods and learning techniques that helped me reach success.

Proofreader: As an editor, columnist, and writing tutor for Journal of Global Health and CUMC Political Magazine, I’ve honed my ability to craft clear, compelling, and impactful written work. I also excelled in Literature Humanities, Contemporary Civilizations, and University Writing. Whether you’re a novice or a professional, I’ll help you sharpen your ideas and elevate your writing.

AP Biology: I completed pre-medical requirements and gained hands-on experience as a research assistant in Columbia’s Epilepsy Center and Neurobiology Labs. My deep understanding of Biology, combined with practical insights from my research, allows me to break down complex concepts into digestible, relatable lessons.

Let’s work together to unlock your full potential!" less...
