Casey is an educator, writer and choreographer. She holds an MFA in Dance from UCLA and graduated magna cum laude from Princeton with a BA in English and certificates in Creative Writing and Dance. Currently, following a lifelong interest in the mind-body connection, she is pursuing a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at Emory.

Casey is passionate about storytelling as a way to connect us more deeply with ourselves and with each other. She believes that writing takes bravery and honesty, and she brings these values to each lesson. As a tutor, Casey combines a sense of advocacy for her students with expertise in evidence-based teaching and learning. When she’s not teaching or learning, Casey is probably trying out ice cream recipes or getting lost in the fiction section of her local library.

What LogicPrep Tutors Say About Casey

Casey has a very dry sensibility; she's simultaneously smart and chill in a way that makes intelligence cool.

Casey is so supportive and really understands the balance between test prep and holistic growth for students.

She is always able to ground her students when they are feeling anxious or overwhelmed.

I'm in a writing workshop with Casey. She is an incredibly big-picture thinker. I always REALLY appreciate her feedback on my own writing, and I think any student would be lucky to have her ears and eyes on theirs.
