About Me

I graduated from NYU Gallatin in May. I was very involved in my school community--I loved being a student. I was in the Dean's Honor Society my senior year, which was a scholars group that traveled to Bulgaria in March. I was also Managing Editor of West 10th Magazine, a literary magazine at NYU. I was hired as a Peer Writing Assistant for three semesters at Gallatin, a position that I feel has given me very valuable brooklyn">tutoring experience. My goal is to go to graduate school in two years and begin my PhD in literature.

I was a Peer Writing Assistant at the Writing Center at NYU Gallatin for three semesters. I learned so much and realized that I love helping people articulate their ideas and tackle their writing issues. I gained a lot of important insight into the importance of connecting with people and understanding the way they think. I felt so fulfilled by the variety of experiences I had, and I hope to continue helping others.

Every person has a different background and thinks in a different way. I believe it's important to understand your students and to let them communicate with you before you begin to help them. It would be easy to take a bossy or domineering approach and simply tell your students how to do something, but that is not an effective method. I believe in getting your students to think for themselves, to ask the right questions, and to direct their own minds toward solutions. I think it's crucial to guide your students gently, and to provide them with certain strategies or perspectives. However, this can be done through asking a lot of questions, and letting students participate in the brainstorming or analytical processes.
