About Nia
Hello! My name is Nia and I hold a bachelor's degree in English Literature with a minor in Creative Writing from UC Berkeley. I have been an academic tutor for nearly ten years and have taught middle schoolers, high schoolers, and college students. I started my teaching journey when I was in high school, providing in-person, one-on-one tutoring to middle schoolers in algebra, English, and science. Then, while at university, I primarily tutored high schoolers in English essay writing, eventually transitioning to remote instruction during the COVID pandemic. Post-pandemic I resumed in-person instruction when I joined the Student Learning Center at UC Berkeley and did peer tutoring there, helping college students with their academic essays. Since then, I do freelance tutoring and my focus is on remote essay coaching for high school and college students.

For my teaching approach, I combine my writing and storytelling skills, guiding students in producing well-rounded essays. I prioritize building students' confidence through brainstorming sessions so they can express their ideas clearly and draw informative conclusions. As education is not a one-size-fits-all model, I personalize my teaching style according to each student, working to support their individual needs (ADHD especially). I have experience with the UC admissions system, specializing in personal insight question (PIQ) prep, coaching high school applicants and transfer students in meaningful, impact-focused writing. This includes choosing appropriate PIQ prompts, brainstorming insightful answers, structural planning, and essay editing; all to communicate each student's unique voice concisely and achieve positive results. I guide my students through appropriate research techniques so they can discern legitimate sources and cite academic journals correctly. Especially since AI has become a larger issue in the classroom, it is crucial that my students know how to source information properly and spend real time reading and comprehending source materials.

Nia is an incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful person. She has a natural ability to create an environment where you never feel self-conscious about making mistakes, which I think is especially important when learning something new.
Nia has helped me with my creative writing on many occasions, and I always appreciate the way she gives feedback. She is thoughtful about how she explains things and has a talent for breaking down ideas in a way that is easy to understand. She encourages you to think through things for yourself while still offering clear and helpful guidance.Nia is an excellent essay tutor! She is patient, thoughtful, and really takes the time to understand her student’s ideas and help them express themselves clearly and confidently. She provides constructive feedback while still allowing the student’s own voice and personality to shine through.
I am an ESL student who needed help with essay writing and wanted to have a bilingual English native speaker who would relate and accommodate to my issues . I met Nia thru a mutual friend who recommended her and started taking lessons with her to improve my essay skills in English. Her warm and flexible approach helped my English skills to a whole new level. Nia was accessible for my schedule and where I struggled she found a way to approach my difficulties in a way that I could understand . She made me see the structure of the English language in a much more understandable way. My writing and vocabulary are now something I use with confidence. I highly recommend her services. Thank you, Nia for all your help !
Nia is so smart and patient, very knowledgeable and helpful in each of our lessons. She really helped me increase my vocabulary and understanding of the language. Highly recommend Nia!
I highly recommend Nia as an English and essay-writing tutor. She is thoughtful, patient, and skilled at helping students organize their ideas and express them clearly. She has a strong understanding of grammar, structure, argument development, and the writing process, but she also knows how to explain these concepts in a supportive and approachable way. High school and college students would be fortunate to have her support!
