"I am licensed as a Special Educator Director, Assistant Principal, and Principal and hold teaching licenses in Elementary Education, Special Education Moderate Disabilities K-8 & 8-12, and Mathematics grades 1-6, 5-8, & 8-12. I am also certified in Sheltered English Immersion. I am currently a Vice Principal at a grade 6 - 12 school and have experience as a high school mathematics and special education teacher for 7 years. Previously I taught at the middle school level and served as a District Mathematics Coach. In addition to teaching math, I previously worked as a literacy teacher and continue to tutor in both areas. In addition to teaching for 16 years, I've tutored students professionally in grades k - college level. My tutoring experience includes many subject areas: reading, writing, math, and study skills for grades K-12, including MCAS prep. For the last 7 years I have been offering SAT, ACT, ASVAB and GED prep, as well as MTEL support for aspiring teachers. Now that my own children have headed off to college, I've added college counseling to my repertoire of skills and have helped several student with their college admissions essays, activities resumes, and scholarship applications.

My tutoring services include homework support, re-teaching, study skills, individualized lesson plans, and suggestions for at-home strategies. When working with students, I combine discussion and practice with visuals and real life connections. In graduate school, I completed research projects that analyzed best teaching practices and looked specifically at how students learn.

In addition to tutoring in person, I offer on-line tutoring via email, zoom, and Wyzant's Online Tutoring Forum. This allows me to support families who live long distance, need short-term immediate support, and who are looking for a less expensive option for tutoring. My rates for on-line tutoring are significantly less than my in-person rates.

I look forward to working with your families!" less...
