I am a firm believer that all students learn differently and identifying how each student best learns is essential to his/her academic success. Therefore, as a tutor, I aim to specifically tailor my teaching style to each student in order to help them maximize their potential. Outside of academics, I enjoy exercising, playing basketball, cooking, and attending concerts and other live performances in the Philadelphia area.

I am passionate about teaching and tutoring and I thoroughly enjoy helping students gain an understanding and a drive for their studies. I have a long history of working with students of all grade levels and abilities (elementary school through college), and I have a good understanding of strategies to excel in both general academics and standardized tests.

I am an experienced teacher and tutor of over 20 years. I have worked with students of all ages from kindergarten to college and am certified in several different areas: as an ESOL Specialist in grades K to 12; in English grades 7-12; and in French K-12. I also have achieved the prestigious National Board certification. During the school year, I'm a full time teacher in the Philadelphia public school system where I have taught for 15 years.
