"Hi! I'm Joanie, an online English tutor helping middle and early high school students excel on the English sections of private school entrance exams like the ISEE, SSAT, and SHSAT.

My classroom is quite interactive, and students are actively involved. We work closely to understand tough topics and ensure language skills are mastered. One student's journey shows this: a seventh grader reading at a fourth-grade level got hooked on a World War II book and greatly improved! Using the right materials and prepping for the ISEE, he built his reading comprehension, felt confident, and got into his dream school. I focus on achieving results for my students.
