I hold a BA in English from Columbia University (Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude) and an MA from UCLA in comparative literature (focus on Anglo-American and Russian modernism). I have years of experience as a tutor and teacher of literature and expository writing to high school and college students, at UCLA, at Columbia, and privately, both in person and online. At Columbia I also served for five years as Director of Faculty and Instruction for Pre-College Programs.

Homework Offered
Assignments are geared to the interests and needs of each individual student but can include short readings, informal written reaction pieces, and multiple drafts of short essays. I can also help students with their school assignments.
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Assessments are holistic and in the form of written evaluations of student work. The feedback is meant to be frank but encouraging, with the objective of guiding students toward further development.
