Hi! My name's Marissa. Born in New York, grew up in Jersey, I mostly teach test prep online as a digital nomad.
I have a bachelor's degree in East Asian Studies from Rutgers University (2010), with minors in English and Economics and I'm waiting to begin a post-bacc program in computer science early next year. I have 7 years of extensive experience working as a test prep instructor (SAT, ACT, TOEFL, and IELTS) and 1-on-1 English language teacher at competitive academies in Seoul, South Korea. I love helping students! Provided with targeted feedback, they improve their chances of getting into the universities of their choice. I believe that students given the right structure for learning can always succeed in their goals. I have the unique ability to connect with and assist students across multiple disciplines, whether he or she wants to become a better English speaker or is trying to complete a senior thesis. My mission as a tutor will always be to never give up on my students and their dreams of success.
I am able to work with students of any age group and in any subject or industry. I am particularly keen on technology and STEM subjects as I find them the most enjoyable. Message me your questions and I will do my best to help!
