Incoming Harvard Grad Student with 6+ Years Experience

Tutor Information

About

I'm an incoming Harvard Kennedy School student with a B.A. in Neuroscience from Brandeis University. While I'm new to TutorOcean, I've been tutoring and teaching for six years. During my gap year, I served as a City Year AmeriCorps Member at the Condon K-8 in South Boston, teaching literacy, math, music, and theater. While at Brandeis, I tutored middle and high school math through various community outlets and wrote lesson plans for high school science classes. I also have experience helping students on the autism spectrum develop organizational and executive functioning skills.
