Margaret: Nassau County tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a successful and compassionate educator with over 5 years of experience working with students in classroom, small group, and 1-on-1 settings. I hold a B.A. in Teaching English as a Second Language, which I have used to prepare over 40 refugee minors to enter into the U.S. public school system, equip dozens of adult learners to obtain jobs and connect with their communities, and expand the horizons of 200 foreign students with the possibilities of bilingualism. Additionally, my thorough knowledge of the English language has allowed me to work as a collegiate writing coach, executing detailed revisions of academic assignments and helping students improve their writing skills. My experience is not limited to language arts, however, as my career has led me to students with a variety of needs and I have tutored students in grades K-12 in math, science, history, and Spanish. Tutoring in and of itself has become a passion of mine, as I have seen the confidence and skills that one-on-one instruction can provide to students who would otherwise be struggling. From kindergarteners who are grasping the tools necessary to excel academically to seniors who are embracing the language required to engage socially, every student is working towards a massive goal and I consider it a joy to provide them with the resources and support to reach it.
