"Contact me to find times that work - I am a friendly, experienced certified teacher!

I hear what my students say you find challenging about AP classes - I focus on what you need.

I help - especially in AP Language and AP Literature - students to see the underlying concepts of these classes (and do the same for SAT prep) so you build your confidence and succeed not only on the exams but also in all your writing and critical reading.

I provide support with regular class work, exam prep and also with general support for the entire courses.

The same techniques that help AP students also help all students who take a wide range of levels of courses; our discussions and mini lessons keep the focus on the my students' own goals. Throughout my career, I have taught all grades and levels of high school English, coached public speaking, taught creative writing and college composition. I am nimble with technology so have interesting strategies and methods to teach with.

The magic happens when ideas spark other ideas; tutoring sessions focused and goal-driven get the sparks going - sending students on their way to success. Helping you succeed is what you want from a tutor!

My education includes an MST in English from the University of New Hampshire, a graduate certificate in online instructional design from Plymouth State University, a BBA in business from the University of Massachusetts, and many graduate courses in other topics such as law, leadership and science.

I love my years in the classroom, but I also thrive in the online environment because the tools allow both me and the students to use interactive lessons and practice in real time. I love it when students come away from a class or session with work accomplished so they are propelled to further success independently.

I work with public, private, remote and homeschool students, which means I have some understanding of the challenges your particular learning environment might present. I look forward to meeting you!" less...
