I am currently a PhD student in English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, and based in Brooklyn. I tutor in elementary reading and writing, middle and high school literature, analytic/academic writing, creative writing, as well as test preparation for the AP English Language and AP English Literature exams. In the past I've worked as a high school English teacher, university writing instructor, teaching artist, tutor, and childcare provider. I am also a Red Cross certified swim instructor and lifeguard, and teach swim lessons for children and adults. I love working with children and young people of all ages, and have training and experience in trauma-informed teaching practice, social-justice focused pedagogy, and working with students with Autism and ADHD. I am also a writer, and incorporate creative writing and art into all of the work that I do. Please reach out with any questions, I would love to discuss working with you and your family!

Avery was excellent tutored for my 8th grader. They helped immensely with essay and writing help. Avery was super nice and easy to work with. They gave great feedback, we’re definitely more ready for high school now!
