I also have extensive experience editing and writing personal essays for grants and college admissions. I tutor because I enjoy seeing students succeed and grow in self-confidence! I believe a good education is not just about learning the topic at hand, but to instill critical thinking and curiosity in each student. I specialize in working with students in multicultural environments. Professionally, I am pursuing an international affairs career and have worked at the OECD in Paris, a cultural diplomacy performing arts production company in Beijing, and the French-American Chamber of Commerce in Chicago. Last year, I worked in environmental sustainability in Cairo.
