Vocabulary with Charis C.

I'm a lifelong tutor with many skills and clever ways of combining them to make learning fun. As a published writer, I've helped many respected authors with their work, along with students at Syracuse University, the Gotham Writers' Workshop, and elementary, middle, and high schools. And a degree in Fine Art lets me use imagery to enliven any lesson. I also spent decades editing Harper's Magazine and working for public radio, including WNYC, WBAI, and WBEZ, where I was often a guest, so I'm excellent at intriguing talk and careful listening. Since 2004, I've helped kids in all subjects at the fantastic 826NYC, where I also illustrate students’ stories right before their eyes. I can even help change your mood after a bad day and let your life experiences help you learn, since these are what you know best. As a kid I often tutored my little brother, and this inspired me to teach. My main goal is to increase students’ confidence and excitement about learning. Then everything is possible.
