I've been in the field of education for fifteen years. In that time I've worked with students from all walks of life, and from all over the world. I've taught/tutored on a wide range of subjects, including SAT/ACT/GED/AP/SSAT Prep. In addition, I have taught college Composition, AP English Language and Composition, Creative Writing, grammar, and reading. My main purpose in becoming a tutor is help students achieve their goals, both academic and otherwise. ... The first thing I do is get to know the person I'll be working with. We discuss their needs, their goals, and what they feel are their strengths and needs. Next, I devise an individualized plan. That plan includes short term as well as long term goals. Depending on the subject, we will do a basic, brief assessment so that we can see where you're at and what I need to do to move you forward. I'm a firm believer in working as a team. YOU know yourself better than anybody; therefore, I'm interested in what you can share with me so that I can best serve you. We're a team. There are some students who want to get started on academics right away, and that is perfectly fine. I am always prepared ahead of time to begin teaching during that first meeting. Again, I tailor each individual program to the student's needs.

I have taught English, French, and Latin at both the middle school and high school levels. I have also tutored students in individual and group settings for the reading and writing portions of the SAT. ... My goals as an educator are to build student confidence, and to help students to set and reach measurable markers of progress.... In a first session, I try to get a read on the student’s needs and personality. Together with the student, I try to see what it is that most concerns the student and family, and what goals the student and family are working toward. Then, we get right to work.
