Growing up in an obscure part of southern England, I had the good fortune of an extraordinary History teacher whose focus was Spain and Latin America. Despite having no knowledge of the Spanish language myself, something about the teacher’s passion and ability to convey the fascinating subject matter hooked me. After receiving a Bachelor’s degree in History from the University of London, I moved to Argentina where I worked as an English and Creative Writing tutor and studied advanced Spanish at the University of Buenos Aires. In 2018, I received my doctorate in Spanish and Latin American Studies from Stanford. Whilst pursuing my PhD, I had the opportunity to teach college-level language courses from Introductory Spanish to Advanced Oral Communication, as well as additional courses on Latin American Literature and Philosophy. I now live in Los Angeles where, concurrent with my work as a mentor, I am a professional playwright and screenwriter and proud member of The Writers Guild of America.
I am able to offer tutoring support for the following subjects: English (college essay, writing + comprehension), Spanish (Elementary School through AP), European History, World History, and Maths (Elementary & Middle School).
