Stephanie, English and Verbal tutor, LogicPrep

An early love of traveling and languages led Stephanie to study abroad in Italy during her junior year of high school, and she’s been learning around the world ever since. After completing her B.A. in Comparative Literature at Williams College, with semester stints in Italy and Argentina, she earned a Ph.D. in Latin American Cultural Studies from Duke University with a focus on Brazil. Part of her research investigates access to higher education for historically marginalized youth from the urban peripheries of Rio de Janeiro.

Always striving to make her research accessible outside of the academy, Stephanie occasionally writes about Brazil for US audiences and has even co-directed a short documentary about first generation college students at the Multidisciplinary Institute of the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro. When she isn’t reading, writing, teaching, or coaching rugby, Stephanie can be found running along the beach or rolling out pizza dough in the kitchen.

What LogicPrep Tutors Say About Stephanie…

Stephanie’s awesome. She has such a cool and relaxed vibe, and she’s also extremely smart.  

She has the friendliest smile and a way of making people feel at ease when they’re talking with her.

Even though she’s American, she’s practically a “Carioca da gema” (native of Rio de Janeiro)!  She truly knows the city and Brazil in general—she’s actively researching access to higher education here.

She’s very caring when giving feedback to students and very thorough when identifying their strengths and opportunities to improve.

Stephanie is secretly pretty hard-core. She plays rugby and is a rugby coach!
