"Teaching is one of my passions. As a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, I treasure education. In fact, I agree with Benjamin Franklin, the founder of the University of Pennsylvania, who said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” Education has been the pathway to a more satisfying and empowered life for just about everyone I know.

I am a former teacher and homeschooler with decades of teaching experience at all levels (K-12). I have a B. S. in Education, with a minor in English, and I have a Master’s Degree as a Reading Specialist. I completed all of my coursework and testing for obtaining my PhD in Higher Education – also from the University of Pennsylvania.

My tutoring specialty is standardized test preparation. For more than 20 years, I have professionally tutored and mentored students who received not only outstanding test results and increased test scores; but they also benefited from higher GPA’s and more confidence as a direct effect of my tutoring and their motivation.

My superior strategies have led to consistent student improvement on the SAT, ACT, GRE, SSAT, and ISEE. In fact, my students have been accepted to some of the finest colleges and universities in the United States, including Princeton University, Brown University, Cornell University, University of PA, Duke University, Williams College, Boston University, Connecticut College, Wellesley College, Tufts University, University of Virginia, Rice University, Carnegie Mellon University, Southern Methodist University, Gettysburg College, etc.

Whatever the subject, I strive to challenge my students to reach optimum achievement without becoming overwhelmed or unduly stressed. For me and for them, tutoring should be a win-win situation.

As a result of my years of tutoring experience, I have created several proprietary products, courses, and worksheets for teaching the following subjects and test preparation courses: SAT, ACT, GRE, SSAT, ISEE, elementary and middle school mathematics, K-12 reading, and ESL/ESOL.
