Mara
Writing Tutor for Elementary/High School/ College

My name is Mara, and I graduated magna cum laude from UC Santa Cruz with a BA in Literature, and a minor in Education. I am now working towards a masters in Book Publishing at PSU. Writing has been my passion since I... Read more

This started in high school when I helped two of my closest friends gain a better understanding for physics.

By far my greatest passion and understanding lies in mathematics, though I am happy ... Read more
