Claire is a Fulbright Scholar, classically trained violinist, and public library enthusiast. Originally from Northeast Ohio, she studied History and American Studies at Princeton University, and after graduation, she received a Fulbright award to teach English and support refugee resettlement in Vienna, Austria.

​

Claire’s teaching experience is wide-ranging: she’s worked with students starting at age one all the way up to age forty-one; New York, Austria, Ohio, and South Korea make up just some of the places where her students have been based; and her subject matter expertise ranges from classical violin to SAT prep. Equally importantly, Claire’s teaching experience is thorough: in Vienna, she taught English in two Austrian middle and high schools, honing her ability to make learning engaging by synthesizing required content with students’ personal interests; and over the last half-decade, she has tutored students one-on-one in humanities, science, and test prep.

​

At the center of her approach to teaching is her ability to cultivate relationships, lead with empathy, and serve as a role model. As a “Buddy” for refugee children at Integrationshaus in Vienna and at the Sant’Egidio Schools of Peace in Innsbruck, Austria, and the Bronx, New York, Claire combined tutoring with mentorship to help students develop character and academic confidence. Claire is eager to lean on these transformative aspects of teaching to help your student thrive.
