“Hi, I’m Emily! I started tutoring on the side as an undergraduate and fell in love with teaching. That love grew stronger when I earned my TEFL certification and began teaching English to speakers of other languages, and again when I taught undergraduate nursing students at the University of Rhode Island as a nurse practitioner student. I know every learner has different needs, so I rarely rely on lectures alone. I like to mix in visual aids, hands-on demonstrations, and real-world examples until we find what clicks for each student. Writing and research have always been passions of mine. I won two awards for my writing and research as an undergraduate, and I came to Massachusetts in 2020 after winning a scholarship to UMass Chan Medical School. In my current role, I’ve co-authored multiple papers in psychiatry and addiction psychiatry. I learned Spanish as a teenager living in Barcelona (VIVA BARÇA!), which reminds me how humbling it is to learn something new. Traveling is one of my great loves, and I’ve recently explored Sydney, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Seoul. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, playing piano, aerial circus performance/arts, and crocheting, which I sometimes teach to kids on the side, too! My favorite part of tutoring is the moment a hard concept finally makes sense and a student realizes they can do it.”
