Ariel S.

Ariel is a Premium Tutor who has worked with more than 150 students since she joined Applerouth in 2014. Ariel is in the Top 15% of Applerouth's Most Requested Tutors of All Time, and has helped 3 students receive perfect section scores on the ACT. Originally from Pennsylvania, Ariel graduated from the University of Massachusetts-Boston with a Bachelor's degree in Biology. She began tutoring in the biology department when she was a student herself and has since then expanded her tutoring repertoire; she currently tutors students preparing for the SAT, ACT, PSAT, and SSAT, as well as those needing academic support in math and biology. She loves seeing her students succeed, and believes in the importance of being fully engaged during sessions. When it comes to her tutoring style, Ariel says, "I am a laid-back, easy-going tutor, but I do expect my students to complete their homework and be mentally present in our sessions. I love to see kids succeed; that means that we are both fully engaged during our time together!" When Ariel isn't tutoring, you can find her hiking - especially in our National Parks - and spending time with her dog.
