"At Yale University I earned a bachelor's degree in liberal arts and a PhD in Molecular Cell Biology. I then conducted postdoctoral research at Harvard Medical School. As an undergraduate, I excelled not only in science but also in writing-intensive subjects such as English literature, history, philosophy, economics, art & architecture, and multiple foreign languages. I've taught in both public and private schools, sharing my enthusiasm for science and the humanities with diverse students of all ages.

My writing skills have been critical to building a successful career in biomedical science. At a public company, I drafted press releases and created corporate presentations for a worldwide audience of shareholders and potential investors. As a medical communications expert, I have written educational materials for senior pharmaceutical executives, leading physicians, and university researchers.

My teaching style is engaging, energetic, creative, patient, and collaborative. Together we'll design a custom-tailored curriculum to meet your personal, academic, or professional goals.

For non-native speakers of English, I offer customized, 1-on-1 lessons in accent reduction, advanced vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, business/professional communications, and other fluency skills.

I specialize in TOEFL iBT and SAT exam preparation, including unique strategies to excel on the SAT Reading and SAT Writing sections." less...
