"I love literacy! I love it so much I studied English at the University of Rochester. I specialize in literacy development in areas of elementary and middle school ELA, Writing, Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension. Each student I have tutored through Wyzant's platform, I am extremely proud to say, has either achieved the grades they or their parents desired or my older students have been admitted to top high schools in the NYC.

My students' incremental progress, understanding and success are my top priorities. I am incredibly patient, compassionate, warm and seek to create a positive learning environment where students feel comfortable. All my sessions are tailored, engaging and have an element of mentorship. Learning is 80% of the battle; without developing grit and fostering intrinsic motivation in students tutoring is pointless. While I tutor, I also use real-world and relative-to-student examples so that they create deeper meanings and retain concepts.

English/Literacy is my heartfelt passion, so I consider it a joy making literacy exciting for children.

I look forward to meeting any and everyone in need of strengthening their literacy skills." less...
