Certified Tutor


I am a certified teacher and have taught for over 15 years. My successful teaching includes teaching Kindergarten through High School as well as 12 years of College Instruction in Business Communications, in which I am currently teaching.

In K 12 Education, my strengths lie in Elementary Math, Reading, Reading comprehension, Writing, Essay Writing, Grammar & Mechanics, Public Speaking/Speech, ACT and SAT English Prep. I have a great deal of experience working with students with ESL students and learning disabilities as well as on-level and above level students. My teaching style allows me to embrace each student's differences and allows me to easily make modifications to instruction based on the needs of the student.

In College Instruction, my strengths are in Reading and Reading comprehension. In addition, I am qualified to teach Writing, Essay Writing, Grammar & Mechanics, Business Communications, Business Writing, Business Presentations and Proposals, and Employment Communications such as Resumes and Cover Letters. My teaching style in this area can be a mix of instruction, coaching and mentorship with students who are looking for guidance in how to communicate their desires for that next career move or essay writing for college or scholarship applications.
