"With 20+ years of tutoring and college counseling experience, I specialize in writing, ELA, history, SAT prep, and college admissions. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications from Ithaca College and an ESL certification from the International TEFL Academy. My approach is highly personalized—tailored to each student’s strengths, weaknesses, interests, and learning style.

In today’s world, AI tools like ChatGPT are everywhere, but strong writing skills and critical thinking are more important than ever. I teach students how to craft compelling essays that showcase their unique voice—whether for school or college admissions. (Ask me about my proven 8-step process for crafting standout essays.)

I also emphasize the responsible use of AI—helping students learn how to use it as a tool for enhancement, not a shortcut.

Whether it's improving grades, elevating test scores, or navigating college admissions, I guide students in developing ethical, analytical, and, of course, effective approaches to their work. This helps them become not just better students and writers, but also stronger thinkers, more fully prepared to meet the challenges of both school and life." less...
