Lindsay Z.
Private tutor in Greenbelt, MD
Education
I am a PhD candidate in U.S. and South African history at Yale University. I also have an MA and MPhil in History from Yale, and a BA in History from NYU.
Experience
I have experience teaching and tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds and ages. Since the fall of 2015, I have worked as a Teaching Fellow at Yale, leading discussion sections and working with undergraduates one-on-one to help them understand course materials and lectures as well as develop and write their own academic essays. Before beginning my PhD program, I volunteered as an SAT preparation and college admissions tutor for low-income high school students in New York, and worked as an elementary school reading, writing, and math tutor. Through these diverse experiences, I have learned how to communicate complex ideas and information in a simple manner, and to tailor my lessons to the abilities and learning styles of my students. I am passionate about my own work, and I love cultivating a passion for learning in the students who I work with.

Hobbies
When I'm not reading and writing history, I love to hike and take long walks around the lake in our town with my 10-month-old puppy, Charlie. I also love spending time at the beach, especially Assateague, where I devour beach reads. My husband is an actor, and we also spend a lot of time watching movies and going to theater.
