Hi there! 

My name is Emily Wu. I graduated from Boston University in 2022 with a BA in English and a BS in English Education. I also hold licenses in teaching English (5-12), ESL (5-12), and students with learning disabilities. While at Boston University, I worked as a tutor supporting students in homework completion as well as essay writing. I also have experience with the New York City school system as a graduate of Queens High School for the Sciences. 

After graduation, I taught 6th grade English and History for 3 years at a public school in Boston, MA. During my time there, I taught in different contexts, including inclusion classrooms, small group settings, and ESL classes. I also developed lesson plans and created tailored, scaffolded materials for different student needs, especially in terms of literacy and writing. 

As a tutor, I aim to teach skills applicable to developing students' critical thinking skills so that they are prepared for not only the classroom, but also the world beyond. I take into account the students’ academic strengths and needs as well as interests they may have outside of the classroom. This is so that I can integrate moments to make connections with the students so that the students can process the material being taught in a way that is both engaging and challenging. I believe students learn best when they are in a space where they feel comfortable to take positive risks.
