About Samantha
Hi there! I'm Samantha. I am a Bard graduate with over 5 years of experience as an educator. I studied Russian Literature and wrote a thesis on the Post-Soviet archival novel. After graduating from Bard, I became a professional archivist and frequently work with museums and publications as an educator and writer. I am committed to helping students find their voices, and write essays that are clear, compelling, and authentic. Whether you are writing a research paper, personal essay, preparing for exams, or just want to boost your written communication skills, I would be glad to guide you through the process. Students that I tutored in College Admissions Essays have been accepted by wonderful schools including NYU, Middlebury, and Brown. Get in touch to learn more and schedule a session today!

I take a hands-on, collaborative, and holistic approach to education, devoted to planning lessons that reflect your learning style, inspire joy in writing, and help you find your voice. Together, we will brainstorm compelling theses, narratives, and angles through focused free-writing, and discussions. I'll offer various outlining methods, help you to support every statement with textual evidence and choose vocabulary that engages your reader. I will advise you through all stages of drafting, workshopping, and editing. For SAT reading and writing prep, I provide practice questions, tips, and tricks for multiple-choice sections. You'll learn to analyze passages, perform close readings, and find evidence-based responses. I'll help you pace yourself, express ideas clearly, build vocabulary, and combat test anxiety.

As someone with dyslexia I have always struggled more with my reading comprehension and grammar skills. Samantha was a huge help while studying for the English portion of the ACT, and helped me again when writing my college application essay. She was very supportive and taught me many skills I still use in my writing today.
Samantha helped me write an essay for a class I was taking about Russian literature. She was very helpful because she empowered me to write in my own voice but in a more organized and straightforward way. I would highly recommend!
Samantha has helped me with countless essays over the years. She is an incredibly helpful editor and very talented writer. Without your help on my Hannah Arendt essay, I would’ve been toast. Thank you thank you thank you

Details
College Admission essay and SAT Prep are $95 per hour because I spend extra time outside of sessions building personalized lesson plans to ensure each student's success. All other English and Essay Tutoring is $82 per hour. I am happy to discuss a sliding scale for students who have moved to the US from abroad, or come from a non-native English speaking household, based on fit and need.
