Meet Our Tutors

Our tutors all stood out at the world's top institutions. Far more importantly, though, they're experienced, intentional, and emotionally intelligent.

Sam is a member of the Brown class of 2022 (BS), the Oxford class of 2023 (MSt), and the Harvard class of 2028 (JD). At Brown, he concentrated in both English and Applied Math-Biology, graduated Phi Beta Kappa, and was one of two students to receive an English Department prize for excellence. At Oxford, Sam earned a degree in Jewish Studies and graduated with highest honors; at Harvard his legal studies will focus on administrative and constitutional law.

Beginning in high school, Sam has consistently built on his teaching experience. Sam works with students on writing, math, and biology, and he offers expertise on standardized tests, having achieved near-perfect scores on the SAT, GRE, and LSAT. At Brown, Sam was a TA for introductory Biology, where he led study sessions, graded homework, and provided individualized tutoring. Further, Sam served on the executive board of the Meiklejohn peer mentorship program at Brown, and he served as a peer tutor at Oxford.

At the heart of the interpersonal expertise Sam applies to his teaching are his three years serving as a counselor at Camp Ramah in the Poconos, a Jewish overnight camp. On top of his academic and teaching experience, Sam’s work as a counselor allows him to establish the rapport needed for your child to buy in and thrive. In his free time, Sam loves distance running and watching his favorite TV show, Survivor.

Annabelle graduated as the Salutatorian of the Princeton University Class of 2023. A History major, she earned the Department’s awards for the strongest record as both a junior and senior, and her senior thesis won the top prizes in American history and women’s studies.

Annabelle specializes in SAT English, Latin, humanities, and writing support, and she relies on her extensive experience tutoring students ranging from middle school all the way up to graduate school. During COVID, she volunteered as a summer tutor for middle school students to help them catch up from lost learning due to the pandemic, and at her high school, Hotchkiss, Annabelle was the head of the writing center. Most recently, Annabelle was a Head Fellow at the Princeton University Writing Center, where she helped both undergraduate and graduate students with papers, research articles, and job applications in addition to mentoring and training new Writing Center fellows. 

Before college, Annabelle worked with children ages six to sixteen as a counselor at Glen Bernard Camp. There, she taught canoeing, rock-climbing, environmental education, and wilderness skills. Annabelle’s unique combination of academic success, teaching experience, and interpersonal skills leaves her both prepared and excited to help your child develop confidence and thrive. In her free time, you can find Annabelle long-distance running or visiting New York’s many art museums!

After attending high school at the Roxbury Latin School, Gabe graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University in 2022. Having majored in computer science, he went on to work as a software engineer at Google, building the infrastructure for YouTube TV and live streams. He now works as a research software engineer at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, developing tools to analyze high-throughput RNA sequencing data.

Gabe has a passion for teaching students from elementary school through college to excel in STEM. In high school, he taught hands-on lessons in science and engineering to underserved elementary school students across Boston. At Princeton, he tutored mathematics through the Petey Greene Program and graded, taught, and helped refine the curriculum for the University’s computer science department. Now, he leads outreach initiatives at a dual-language school in Boston, teaching K-8 students how to code in the Scratch programming language.

Gabe’s love for STEM translates into a love of languages, as well: his mastery of programming languages like Python, Java, JavaScript, C, C++, R, and more is matched by his proficiency in French, Latin, and Spanish. In his free time, he loves rock climbing and reading about linguistics, AI, and math.

Belle is a member of the Columbia Class of 2020 (BA), the Cambridge Class of 2021 (MPhil), and the Yale Class of 2025 (JD). A History and American Studies major, Belle built on her undergraduate research while at Cambridge, where she studied American History as a Kellett Fellow. Belle is currently a third-year student at Yale Law School, and in the fall, Belle will return to Columbia for her History PhD focusing on enforcement of anti-terrorist legislation during Reconstruction.

Belle’s approach to tutoring is rooted in her years of experience shepherding middle school, high school, and graduate students to academic success. As an undergrad in New York City, she supported students in local high schools in humanities coursework, test prep, and college admissions advising. At Yale, Belle served as a teaching assistant to half of the law school’s Class of 2027, where she balanced developing curriculum for the class at large with offering individualized writing support.

Perhaps more than anything, Belle owes her expertise to her proudest title: big sister. The oldest of seven children, she knows a thing or two about patience, trust, and empathy. Some of her fondest memories in her teaching career are from her early work with her siblings on test prep, admissions essays, developing academic confidence, and more. In her free time, you can find Belle long-distance running or trying out New York’s best vegetarian restaurants.

Jahnavi is a member of the William & Mary Class of 2022 (BA) and the Harvard Medical School Class of 2028 (MD). At William & Mary, she studied Economics and Biology, graduating summa cum laude. She was recognized with honors such as the Newman Civic Fellowship, the William & Mary Sophomore Woman of the Year, and the Rev. Ernest J. Bartell CSC Prize for Undergraduate Research on Poverty and Development.

Jahnavi’s tutoring and mentoring expertise is the product of years of experience. Throughout college and life since graduating, Jahnavi has supported numerous students in math, executive function, admissions guidance, and professional development. While her own subject-matter expertise stands out, what makes Jahnavi most unique as a tutor is her ability to integrate executive function support into academic tutoring.

In her free time, Jahnavi enjoys exploring languages—she is fluent in Telugu, advanced in Spanish, and proficient in Hindi—and practicing Indian classical dance!​​​​​​
