"As a teacher for over 22 years, I have extensive experience working with students of all ages. I combine tutoring with academic coaching, providing students with learning skills and strategies, along with academic content, that will help them meet their learning goals.

I have a Bachelor's of English (Wellesley College) and a Master of Mathematics Education (UMass). I have always loved teaching writing and helping students find their unique writing style and voice. I especially like helping students write college application essays.

Once I began teaching, I saw a need in our schools for strong teachers of mathematics. I decided to teach middle school math, where I enjoy helping kids discover that math is interesting and fun! I believe it's important to help students build confidence in math, so they are willing to take chances and learn from mistakes." less...
