With 10+ years of experience, I am passionate about helping students of all ages love to learn. I have tutored students of diverse backgrounds around the world, in subjects ranging from math, English, and history to photography and filmmaking. I especially enjoy finding creative ways to increase students` engagement with their work.

I`ve achieved high levels of academic success in my schooling. I received a near perfect score in the rigorous International Baccalaureate Program, an international school curriculum that I studied in Singapore. I then went on to a top ranked USA college/university, where I also achieved a near perfect grade point average and was awarded high honors. Since graduating in 2016, I have worked around the world as a private tutor, as well as a freelance manuscri pt editor for writers.

I deeply enjoy sharing my love for learning with students of all ages, abilities, requirements and needs.
