Cassandra Luca, NSHS alumna (2017), now a senior at Harvard majoring in English and heading to McGill University for a Master’s in English next Fall, is currently available for private tutoring at the middle school, high school, and college levels.
Her primary tutoring subject is English, but she also has more than five years’ experience in history (all levels); math (through pre-calculus); foreign languages (Spanish, French, Latin at all levels); and biology (through AP Biology) and specializes in anything related to essay-writing: brainstorming, editing, revising, and proofreading.
Cassandra focuses on building consistent study habits, the benefits of problem-solving over memorization, and establishing a foundation of basic skills to draw on for increasingly complex projects.
At this time the preference is to meet via Zoom. Please contact cassandraluca@gmail.com to discuss your child’s specific needs. Resume available upon request.
