Chenyu Yi

Hi there, my name is Chenyu. I am currently a senior at New York University Abu Dhabi. I tutor English, college-level writing, and standardized tests such as ACT and TOEFL. Most of my classes are in social sciences, but I also have experience writing scientific research papers.

I have extensive first-hand writing experience in interdisciplinary subjects, such as psychology, sociology, linguistics, and education. For my writing session, I worked with my tutees to brainstorm the topic, form the main argument, write an outline, refine the argument, find supporting evidence, scaffold the actual writing process, and finally proofread the paper.

Besides tutoring English and writing, I am also interested in tutoring standardized tests. I received 35 on the ACT: English 34, Math 34, Reading 34, and Science 36. I have recently taken TOEFL and received 29 on Reading, 30 on Listening, and 29 on Writing. Based on my experience with ACT and TOEFL preparations, I came up with systematic methods for studying them. These methods differ across sections and are gained through first-hand experience. If you are working on test preparations and don't know where to start, I can help you to find the best practice for you and help you come up with a detailed study plan.

My sessions are student-centered, thus specially designed to address individual needs and challenges. I am great for anyone who finds academic writing and test preparations challenging. Also, I do offer a free 30-minute session to get to know you and hear your challenges.

Last, I look forward to meeting you and helping you reach your goals!
