My Experience
During high school, I tutored 25-30 students every week in my junior (11th grade) and senior (12th grade) years. My main subject was chemistry at the 10th grade level, but I also tutored in US History AP, European History AP, English Language AP, Calculus AB/BC AP, and Spanish Language AP. I also tutored maths and social sciences for primary school students.
During my time at Princeton University, I tutored underprivileged middle school students (aged 11-13) at Riviera Middle School in Trenton, New Jersey. I helped prepare them for the New Jersey standardised test in English and Maths (and had a hand in curriculum development), and I also served as a mentor for the students.
My Qualifications
I attended Palos Verdes High School, where I graduated valedictorian. After that, I studied at Princeton University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History and a certificate in Medieval Studies. I graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, and was the recipient of a number of awards including the Joseph R. Strayer Prize in Medieval History, Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship, and Carter Kim Combe ’74 History Department Prize. After graduating in May 2016, I received a Marshall Scholarship, which supports approximately 30 to 40 American students (out of an applicant pool of thousands) to pursue postgraduate research in the United Kingdom. I now study medieval history as a research student at University College London.
