PRO TIP:

When evaluating whether a mentor would be a good match for your student keep in mind that the greatest leading indicator of success is how well a mentor and their mentee get along.

Questions to ask yourself:

Would the student find this person inspiring?
Do they share any interests, hobbies, or lived experiences?

Babi O. (IN A NUTSHELL)

Hi! At Harvard, I studied History & Literature with a focus in Ethnic Studies (as well as a Contemporary Art History).

Since college, I have worked in marketing at fashion brands, startups, and more.

In previous tutoring roles, I've worked with college applicants on their essays, global students on ESL, and of course, Curious Cardinals students!

I love working with students interested in the Humanities or creative projects. I'd love to chat with you to learn more about what you're looking for in a mentor!

My hobbies are reading, going to the movies, pottery, and exploring NYC.

Watch Babi O. break down a subject they’re passionate about.

WHY THIS MATTERS:

Our mentorship sessions happen virtually over Zoom. It’s important to get a sense of how someone’s personality can come through on a video call. The best way to ensure your student is excited about learning is to have someone on the other side that they look forward to talking to.
