Hey! My name is Nathalie and I'm currently attending Williams as a freshman where I’m planning on majoring in Political Science and Mathematics. I’m from New York City and I went to Stuyvesant High School. During my time there I took various AP courses and did extracurriculars both and outside of school. While I attended Stuyvesant, I was forcefully made to skip algebra 1. My middle school also didn’t prepare me adequately enough for the rigor of my school. Due to those circumstances, I struggled in math at first. Thankfully my math teacher encouraged me to seek help, and I ended high school with a 97 in AP Calc AB. I definitely understand the struggle of asking for help. As a kid I even had a tutor to help me learn how to read, because I was very behind. Nowadays I love to read! My favorite author is Donna Tartt. I also enjoy writing and I’m currently taking a Comparative literature course. During high school I was a part of the writing center as well. I often take a look at both my friends and family’s essays for various purposes, such as just regular English essays and college ones. Regarding college, I was a part of a program called APEX youth where my peers and I had mentors who guided us through the college process. Some other activities I did included playing first chair flute, where I led my younger peers through music such as the Carmen Suite. I also worked at the New York Botanical Garden as an Advanced explainer and camp counselor in the Everett’s Children Adventure Garden. Here I did research on phenology and taught children of all ages about the outdoors. One of my favorite experiences was studying abroad in Rennes, France; where I stayed with a host family and took a French class. I did French all four years of high school up to the level of AP French and would love to pass it on. Currently at Williams I am a part of Mock Trial, Law Journal, and I work as a barista!

My name is Franklin, and I am a freshman at Williams College, Class of 2029. I intend on majoring in statistics and math. I've tutored all throughout high school, and I hope to continue helping students on their own academic journeys. Previously, I have tutored with the Chicago North Shore Chinese Center, teaching English and math. I've also tutored through the National Honors Society in high-school math, biology, and English. Coming this semester, I will be a TA in the statistics course I've taken this year, STAT 202: Intro to Statistical modeling. These experiences personally enriched me, and have encouraged me to explore more tutoring opportunities. As listed above, I am comfortable tutoring in a wide range of subjects, whether it’s STEM subjects, humanities, or extracurriculars. In particular, I am intimately familiar with the AP Exams and SAT, as I’ve both received and given tutoring in these areas. I know these tests are important to students and their futures, and with my experience, I will approach and guide students as a fellow colleague who has all the tips and tricks of the trade. For those families who have younger children, I am also experienced in tutoring in elementary and middle school-level subjects. In addition to tutoring all grade levels, I have also received tutoring from Kumon, which was hugely important for developing a solid understanding of fundamental skills and knowledge in math that translated into academic success. I understand how to help a student prepare for excellence, and I am prepared to help. In terms of teaching style, I value patience with all my students, clear communication, and building a strong foundation. I always ask them what their goals are and how they learn best, then I adapt my teaching to suit their needs. I'd love to tutor in any subject I can, as I simply enjoy helping students achieve a higher level of understanding and learning. I hope that through these ventures, I will be able to guide students and help them grow.
Soleil
Williams College, class of 2028, majoring in History and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies
Tutoring subjects:
English, Literature, Grammar, History (medieval Europe and America since the 1400s), Gender Studies, and Drawing (digital and physical)
Hi there!! My name is Soleil (so-lay) and I am a sophomore here at Williams majoring in History and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Before coming to Williams, I was a student at Daytona State Community College in Florida where I was a peer writing tutor, teaching writing skills from high school aged students to pupils in their 60s. As a writing tutor I became well acquainted with treating teaching as a back and forth rather than a lecture; I want students to feel engaged and excited to learn about the topic at hand, whether that be 12th century nuns or English grammar. I take special care to get to know my students so that I may teach them in the way that suits them best. I know it helps me to have a visual aid in my tutoring so I always keep a notebook to provide another way of consuming the information. Knowing the student is also vital so that I may make connections to the material at hand. It can be difficult to learn when a concept feels entirely foreign to your mental framework, so I recognize great importance in making those connections. I am comfortable working with students with mental disabilities as well, such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. In these cases of mental barriers it is especially important to pique the students’ interest with topics that they enjoy. In addition to my studies in English, History, and Gender Studies, I also have a background in drawing. In recent years I have done more digital art but I retain a good understanding of the drawing fundamentals. Thus, I am always thrilled to incorporate drawing into lessons to add creative intrigue. As a tutor it is always my goal to cultivate an environment of acceptance and curiosity. May we all eternally learn together!!

What’s up! I’m Jackie. I am an undergraduate student at Williams College (Class of 2029), planning to major in Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics. I am from Queens, New York and attended Stuyvesant High School in NYC. I have a strong STEM background, having taken many higher level mathematics and computer science courses including but not limited to Abstract Algebra, Real Analysis, Multivariate Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Computer Organization. In addition, I competed in various competitions including the USA Math Olympiad, the USA Coding Olympiad, as well as the International Math Modeling Contest. At Williams, I co-founded the college’s first AI club, Gradient, and I’m also the co-president of Club Table Tennis. I’ve been tutoring for several years throughout high school, and have worked as a senior teaching assistant and managed hiring at ABCMath Academy, where I taught classes in SAT math, SHSAT, physics, and Python/Java programming for groups of 30+ students. Through this, I’ve gained quite a bit of practice breaking down tough concepts into clear, step-by-step explanations and adapting my approach to different learning styles. I have also taught chess with the Metis Project, where I created weekly lessons, slides, and interactives. Outside of tutoring, I’m very involved in film and video editing, and I love helping students bring creative projects to life. I served as the director of the media and memory crew of my high school’s musical and am currently taking a documentary making class. Additionally, I play and coach table tennis, where I’ve reached #61 in the US for my age group. Table tennis especially has taught me patience and encouragement. I’m also into esports (was signed professionally for a year), which keeps me competitive, collaborative, and fun to work with. Altogether, these experiences make me a supportive and enthusiastic tutor who enjoys seeing students gain confidence in both quantitative and creative subjects. I’d love to work with you/your student and tailor each session to your goals. I’m available for 1:1, 2:1, and 3:1 tutoring. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to get started!

Noah
Williams College, Class of 2029, majoring in Political Science
Tutoring subjects:
SAT, ACT, PSAT, AP Exams (Language, Literature, Precalculus, Statistics, Environmental Science), any other basic K-12 English/history/math class, trumpet
Test results:
SAT: 1520 (Math 760, Reading and Writing 760)

AP Scores: Language (5), Environmental Science (5), Precalculus (5), U.S. History (4), European History (4) (I also took Literature, U.S. Government, Comparative Government, Physics 1, and Statistics, but during my senior year, so I didn't take the exams, as Williams doesn't give AP credit.)
My name is Noah (He/Him), and I'm a first-year student (Class of 2029) at Williams College. I am planning to major in Political Science. I took 11 AP classes in high school, in a variety of fields, so I'm happy to teach many different subjects like history, science, math, and English. I'm also happy to help students prepare for AP/SAT/ACT/PSAT tests. I have experience working with all different age groups, and I love to help others understand difficult or complex problems. I have worked as an elementary summer camp instructor and have coached middle and high school debaters. I was also involved in debate all throughout high school, and am currently in Mock Trial at Williams. I also play the trumpet and am involved in the Williams Brass and Jazz Ensembles, and I would be happy to tutor trumpet.
Bea
Williams College, Class of 2025, majoring in Art History and English
Tutoring subjects:
Italian Language and Literature
Hi! My name is Bea and I graduated from Williams College with a degree in Art History and English in June 2025. I spent all four years at Williams working as the head Italian TA, teaching the Elementary Italian classes, leading the Italian language table, and managing all the cooking and cultural events. Every week I met with the students in small groups to help them practice and review, leading my sessions completely in Italian to immerse them in the language and encouraging them to speak without fear of making mistakes. Over my last semester at Williams, I led the Elementary Italian class once a week, which helped me grow comfortable and confident teaching even larger groups of students. I often added extra hours to my weekly schedule for one-on-one meetings with students who needed some extra help, honing in on their specific needs and targeting areas they wanted or needed to review. As a result, I’ve become very comfortable adapting my lessons to fit a student’s unique learning style, constantly exploring different ways to explain the same concepts to find the most effective method for the student at hand. While I do cover all the basics, I love to get to know my students so as to tailor our lessons to their interests, helping them use Italian for the concepts they want to talk about or need to learn for work or other classes. Over the years, I’ve had many students already fluent in other Romance languages—since I also speak Spanish and a little bit of French, I use their knowledge of similar grammatical structures and vocabulary to enhance their understanding of Italian. I grew up between Boston and Italy, spending most of my time in the latter, so I consider both English and Italian my native languages since I feel equally comfortable speaking both. Even before Williams, when I was living in Italy full time, I gained experience tutoring Italian students in English. Over all my years tutoring and TAing, my goal has always been to make my students as passionate about learning Italian as I am to teach it.
Daniel
Williams College, Class of 2027, majoring in Computer Science and Music
Tutoring subjects:
Math, Computer Science, Spanish, Piano (classical & jazz), Music Theory
Hi! I’m Daniel, a junior at Williams College double-majoring in Computer Science and Music. I love exploring how logic and creativity intersect—whether that’s in a coding project, a piece of music, or a tutoring session. Over the past few years, I’ve worked with students of all ages in both academic and artistic settings. I’ve tutored elementary students in Williamstown, taught web design (HTML and CSS) at the Milne Public Library, and led music theory lessons and directed youth theater productions of The Lion King Jr. and Alice in Wonderland Jr. through the Youth Development Organization in Lawrence, Massachusetts. I also have experience supporting early learners at the Williams College Children’s Center, helping students develop confidence and curiosity in the classroom. Academically, I love helping students with math, computer science, and Spanish, building strong foundations in elementary school in fun and engaging ways and progressing to more advanced subjects like Spanish grammar and coding in Python later on. In music, I teach classical and jazz piano, along with music theory with the goal of making students better composers, interpreters, and performers of music, to teach them why music is the way it is and how to make music themselves. As a tutor, my goal is to make learning engaging and approachable—building understanding step by step and celebrating every “aha” moment along the way.
