Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I am a full-time private tutor and academic coach based in the NYC area. I specialize in writing and social studies for younger students, and in literature, history, economics, and government for students in or approaching college. I support my students in their coursework as well as preparing them to excel on NYSED state tests, Regents, and AP exams. I have worked overseas and in the US with ESL students from international backgrounds, and tutor many ESL and native English-speaking students in need of support with academic language arts and advanced research and essay writing. I also guide students (and their parents) through the high school and college applications process to ensure that they are organized, on schedule, and presenting themselves to the absolute best of their abilities. I hold a BA in Politics, Philosophy & Economics, and I constantly bring that background to bear in providing my students with an integrated view on the material they’re studying. I love the diversity in how students think, and finding the best way to make learning rewarding for each one. I try to incorporate whatever will get you enthused, and like learning about your interests in order to make our sessions together both fun and productive! I can come alongside a student who needs help with classwork or create a independent curriculum based on their needs, and I like the variety of work I do to make at all as helpful as possible.

Fen was excellent in every way- she helped both of my kids as they completed their high school applications. She worked with them so they were able to present their best work. She was knowledgeable, efficient, punctual and most importantly pleasant. They both enjoyed working with her and I would recommend her without hesitation.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Before I meet with a new student, I like to email, text, or talk on the phone with them a bit to establish their goals for our lessons together. I also usually request that my students send me assignment rubrics, study guides, notes, or other class materials (if applicable) before our lessons, so that I can familiarize myself with their teacher's methods. That also gives me a chance do any preliminary research that would help us get the most out of our meeting!

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I hold a BA in Politics, Philosophy & Economics, and I constantly bring that background to bear in providing my students with an integrated view on the material they’re studying. I've been tutoring part- or full-time in NYC for over 3 years, and I also worked overseas in a K-12 international school providing one-on-one academic and ESL support to students at all levels.
