"My name is Colin, nice to meet you! I live in Brooklyn and work at a social policy and education research nonprofit. I have extensive experience offering private tutoring for students at a range of age and ability levels (and across several subjects). My “specialties” are in math and writing, but feel free to reach out with other subjects and we can chat!

I graduated from Yale magna cum laude with a BS in Data Science and Education and have been tutoring for about 10 years (time flies!). I have tutored students ranging from 3rd grade through adult learners. Additionally, I worked as a tour guide for Yale Admissions, and have used what I learned to offer both writing support and general application advice for high school seniors going through the college process. Many of my students are now attending their top choice schools!

I have extensive experience distilling various math disciplines for students at all levels. My unique approach places an emphasis on building a student's problem-solving confidence and pattern-seeking instincts. My students have told me I have a knack for making complex concepts accessible regardless of their learning style.

I have 6+ years of experience in offering a range of writing support, from the earliest stages of drafting to the final proofread. As a professional researcher, I have authored several publications. I have edited everything from free verse poetry to PhD dissertations, and regardless of medium, the single most important thing about my approach is to center the writer's voice. While grammar and "conventions" are important, the best essays allow the unique voice of the writer to shine through. A great tutor does not inject their own voices and ideas, but rather elevates those of the student.

One of the few joys of the pandemic has been my discovery of online tutoring! I've loved that online tutoring allows me to meet students from all over the world. I am excited to work with you, and do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!" less...
