The subjects where the answer comes from working through the problem, not around it.
My main focus is math, economics, and test prep. I also work with students on writing, Spanish, and college applications.
All levels — conversation, grammar, and written analysis. I've studied the Spanish language and literature for 8 years. I've traveled to several Latin American countries for tennis tournaments, and last summer worked in Panama City as a Data Analyst and Focus Group Moderator for CID Gallup at a professional working proficiency.
Structure, argument, and voice. As a research assistant for the Constitute Project, I authored and published an article on constitutional law — I bring a published writer's eye to school essays, scholarship submissions, and editing.
I went through this gauntlet recently and came out with admissions to several highly selective schools and honors programs, including Pomona College, where I'm now enrolled. I help students find the essay that's actually theirs to write.
For a summer I worked at a survey research firm in Panama, analyzing data, contributing to questionnaire design, moderating policy-oriented focus groups, and conducting door-to-door political surveys in Spanish.
I researched Chile's constitutional drafting process — analyzing debates conducted in Spanish — and authored a published article in the Constitute Project's Data Stories series, "What do Constitutions say about parents, if anything?" The work grew out of a constitutional law course in which I served as Chief Justice for moot-court debates on gun rights, religious freedom, and other contested issues — I learned to weigh evidence carefully and set my own opinions aside.
During school breaks — summer and winter — I take in-person students anywhere that works for you: a cafe, a reserved study room at the Austin Public Library, your kitchen table. Sessions are 60 or 90 minutes.
Year-round via Zoom, with a shared digital whiteboard that works just as well as the real thing. Most of my students are online — it's the format I've taught most.
