About the lesson

My Tutoring Approach: As a Dartmouth College graduate with over 10 years of experience, I bring a thoughtful, student-centered approach to every lesson. My goal is to not only strengthen writing and reading skills, but to also build confidence and clarity in communication. ️ Teaching Methods & Techniques: I focus on helping students develop their own voice through structured, engaging lessons. Whether we're outlining an argumentative essay, breaking down a literary passage, or refining grammar and flow, I emphasize clarity, logic, and creativity. I guide students using real-time feedback, model writing examples, and scaffolded exercises that make complex writing feel doable. A Typical Lesson Plan Might Include: . A quick warm-up activity (word choice, grammar, or reading analysis) . Review of previous work or feedback . Step-by-step guidance through the current assignment . Targeted skill-building (like thesis crafting or textual evidence) . Time for questions and personal goal-setting What Sets Me Apart: . Ivy League education with a deep understanding of academic writing expectations . A decade of experience working with students from diverse educational backgrounds . A calm, encouraging teaching style that meets students where they are . Experience mentoring both native English speakers and ESL students Who These Lessons Are For: . Middle school, high school, or college-level students . Students preparing for essays, term papers, college applications, or standardized tests . Anyone looking to improve their academic reading and writing confidence

Perfect! Thanks to Rena’s guidance, I was accepted into Parsons – The New School with a significant scholarship! I worked with her on my application, particularly the writing component, which I had always found challenging as I’ve never been very confident in my writing skills and was working to a very tight, last-minute deadline.

She was incredibly supportive, efficient, and insightful throughout the process. Rena helped me develop and refine my ideas, structure my responses clearly, and communicate them in a way that felt authentic and compelling. Despite how last minute my application was, she worked extremely quickly while still giving thoughtful, high-quality feedback.

Her guidance made a huge difference to my confidence and to the strength of my application. I genuinely believe her support played a key role in my acceptance and scholarship offer.

I would highly recommend Rena to other Superprof students, especially those applying to competitive colleges or art universities, or anyone who needs support with academic or personal statement writing. She is professional, encouraging, and truly invested in her students’ success. Thanks Rena :)

Bria was an absolute pleasure to work with. In a very short span of time, she stayed focused, dedicated, and fully committed to the application process. Together, we completed her application essays efficiently, and her hard work paid off with a scholarship to Parsons School of Design. I truly appreciated her determination, responsiveness, and trust throughout the process, and I’m so proud of what she accomplished.

The entire time I have known Rena, she has always impressed me with her ability to highlight and share unique perspectives and express her ideas clearly. She is the kind of tutor who will always be very honest about what you present to her, while also offering constructive criticism and suggestions for how best you can make improvements. Rena is able to do all this while still ensuring that you are still expressing yourself authentically, as she is a great listener and makes sure to give you an opportunity to outline your thought process, incorporating that into any feedback she has for you. If you are looking for someone who can encourage you to challenge yourself while simultaneously supporting you all the way, Rena is the Superprof for you!
