About Lia
My approach is student-centered and skills-based. I help students develop productive reading and writing habits as well as their instincts to know how to apply them. As for the student-centered part—my job is to help students learn the skills they actually need. One size does not fit all.
I love helping people learn! I want to be a teacher eventually and there's little more incredible than the way my students light up when they learn something new.
My parents are both teachers, so it's in my blood! :D
Kidding aside, my first tutoring job was helping a family friend's second-grader in math. Math wasn't my strong suit, but we got by. I've been working with kids since I was eleven, so that certainly helped. I also spent a year doing the City Year program, where I worked in a third-grade classroom and tutored in reading and math. Most recently, I spent two semesters working for my university's writing center as a peer tutor.
I did two months of intensive training in preparation for my job at an educational nonprofit (City Year) and took a tutoring seminar class for one semester as part of my role tutoring for my university’s English department. The rest of my knowledge comes from experience!

For my first tutoring session, I like to have something of a consultation where I talk with the student (and parent, if applicable) about what the student needs. I also use this time to get to know my student! I fully believe that you are a person first and a student/teacher second, so this is my opportunity to learn about you as a person.
I have tutored students from elementary school to undergrad. However, these days I only work with children in middle school or older.
Ask LOTS of questions, and be honest about what you need.
One of my college students I worked with went from getting an F on her first paper to a 100% on her final paper—in just under fourteen weeks.

Lia worked for me as a tutor in the UMass Boston English department. You will not find anyone more supportive, encouraging, dedicated, engaging, and completely in love with helping people learn.
Lia was my student, and I can tell you that they are generous, funny, kind, and direct. Although a young person, they already have a lot of experience teaching, from their work in City Year to their work as a university tutor. Lia is a thoughtful, informed, and independent thinker, and you can expect to be taken seriously, to be treated respectfully, and to learn things you might not expect.
