Brea has been tutoring in mathematics and sciences since high school, where she worked with middle and high school students. During undergrad, she worked as an Honors College Peer Tutor, where she tutored students in a wide range of academic subjects both individually and in groups, and as a TA for various engineering courses. She believes in forming partnerships with her students to continuously reassess their needs and help them realize their full academic potential. Her goal is to direct sessions that are both enjoyable and focused, where manageable tasks and consistent practice build into overcoming academic hurdles.
In her free time, Brea enjoys exploring cafes and restaurants around NYC as well as reading and cycling.
