"Hi, I'm Siena! I have a master's degree in Jewish Studies, and before that I graduated magna cum laude with a degree in Art and Design and minors in Latin American Studies and Ethnic Studies. My liberal arts education has led me to fine-tune my skills as a writer, and I am eager to help students perfect their written work. Writing a successful essay requires multiple steps and I am here to help through the entire process, including research, planning, execution, and editing.

I have one year of experience as an English Second Language teacher in Spain, where I worked with middle schoolers and high schoolers. During that time, I also tutored students privately. My philosophy is that creating an environment where students feel comfortable and do not fear judgement is vital for positive learning outcomes. Overcoming fear and embarrassment is one of the most challenging parts of learning, so I focus on providing encouragement and positive reinforcement to students while giving corrections. As a tutor, I want to build the confidence of the student while honing their skills so they can have the mindset and resources to succeed in class.

Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions or concerns, or to book a lesson!" less...
