About me
I have been teaching and tutoring English and test prep for over 20 years. I hold a bachelor’s degree in secondary education and a Master’s in communications.
Some of the skills I work on with my students include:
Essay Writing & Structure (Argumentative, Persuasive, Literary Analysis, Personal Statements)
Reading Comprehension & Textual Analysis
Grammar, Mechanics, & Vocabulary Building
Executive Functioning & Study Skills for Humanities
My teaching style is student-centered, supportive, and focused on building confidence and independence. I believe every student learns differently, so I tailor my approach to meet each student's individual needs, learning preferences, and academic goals.
As a tutor, I strive to make learning both enjoyable and meaningful. I believe the best learning happens when students feel supported, understood, and encouraged to take risks. I tailor my instruction to each student's needs, breaking challenging concepts into manageable steps and celebrating progress along the way. Seeing students grow in confidence and realize what they are capable of is one of the most rewarding aspects of tutoring!
Much of my test preparation goes beyond practicing questions—it develops the skills, strategies, and confidence students need to perform at their best.
My approach to SAT, PSAT, and ACT tutoring combines individualized instruction with strategic test preparation, helping students identify areas for growth, strengthen foundational academic skills, and master effective approaches to standardized testing.
Each student receives a personalized learning experience designed around their strengths, challenges, and college admission goals.
I have helped many of my students polish their college admissions essays and helped them get into the college of their choice.
Through targeted instruction, thoughtful practice, and an emphasis on critical thinking and time management, students develop the confidence and independence necessary for success.
