“Avery grew up in Austin, Texas, and now lives in Allston. At Yale, she studied economics and environmental studies, and worked as a research assistant on a Department of Energy-funded study on renewable energy adoption in Connecticut. Writing is her biggest passion. She is working on a mystery novel, so she teaches writing as a working writer who still revises her own drafts. Avery became interested in tutoring through her experience teaching Mandarin at a Chinese immersion pre-school program. She continues to speak Mandarin, and is trying to learn French as well. Outside of tutoring, she loves baking, discovering new music, and reading.“
