"As an educator and counselor with a passion for fostering a love of learning, I bring a wealth of experience for over a decade to private tutoring. I hold a Bachelor's degree in English with a focus on writing, as well as a Master's in Education. Additionally, I am licensed and certified in counseling and professional coaching, offering a strong foundation in both subject matter and teaching techniques. My academic achievements include being inducted into the National English Honor Society and receiving a college speech and debate scholarship. I've also completed graduate coursework in counseling and career counseling.

In addition to tutoring, I bring valuable experience as a high school, college, and career counselor and professional coach, having worked in school and university settings, as well as in undergraduate college admissions. This allows me to provide comprehensive support in areas like public speaking, crafting resumes and cover letters, editing personal statements, and navigating the college application process. My strong writing and editing skills enable me to offer detailed, constructive feedback to help students refine their work and express their ideas clearly.

I have had the privilege of tutoring a diverse range of students, from adolescents to adults of all ages. My approach is always tailored to meet the unique needs of each learner, whether they are native English speakers or English language learners. My methods are student-centered and interactive, creating a supportive environment where learners feel comfortable expressing themselves. Building rapport is essential to success, and I strive to create a warm and encouraging atmosphere in every session. Whether you're looking to improve conversational English, strengthen grammar, gain confidence in public speaking, or prepare for college or job applications, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Together, we can achieve your academic, professional, and personal goals in a supportive, engaging environment." less...
