About Zien Celeste

Creative tutor and mentor with 10 years' experience in arts-based education, literacy, science tutoring, and curriculum design. My background in academic, nonprofit, and social justice education shapes a culturally responsive, joyful approach. I offer creative homeschool curriculum and support in standard subjects like reading, writing, and science. I've worked with learners from early childhood to college, including neurodivergent and homeschooled students, and I specialize in sessions that are hands-on, story-rich, and grounded in care. Available for 1:1 tutoring, pods, or afterschool care in the Lower East Side. About Zien (Z): I'm a proud Louisiana native with a vibrant background-former farmer, neuroscientist, culinary artist, and Mardi Gras queen! My work and art often blends science, storytelling, and nourishment into joyful, creative learning. I enjoy swamps, decorating cakes with copious amounts of edible glitter, and making scavenger hunts for everyday life.
