"I have 15+ years of teaching/tutoring experience, and my passion for tutoring comes from a love of seeing students grow and succeed in areas in which they have struggled in the past. My experience ranges from being a math tutor in high school, a writing tutor for undergraduate and graduate students in college, and a high school English teacher for over 6 years, to tutoring upper elementary students through high school seniors in writing, English, math, time management, and study skills. I have also taught and tutored adult ESL classes and lessons. One of my goals in teaching is to help students develop a love of learning and become independent learners. I love to see students become well-rounded and versatile in their ability to overcome obstacles and work towards success in all areas of life.

I am especially passionate about teaching writing and research skills, as well as language arts and literature. I am experienced in tutoring for SAT prep, and I am also able to help with math homework up to the level of Geometry and Algebra 2. In addition, I have a TESOL certification and enjoy working with English Language Learners to help them learn how to manage academics while developing English skills at the same time.

I am flexible with what each tutoring session can look like, depending on the student's needs. The first session will include goal-setting to determine the student's needs and how best to reach them. Based on these needs, I can help the student with homework, I can assign extra supplementary practice for trouble areas, I can guide the student through editing papers, I can assist the student with organizational skills, or do whatever else will help the student meet his/her goals. In addition, as a summa cum laude graduate, I realize the value of hard work and diligence in reaching one's goals, and therefore, I hope to instill a diligent work ethic in every student I tutor.

I look forward to hearing from you and meeting with you to see how I can help you work towards your goals!" less...
