About Me

Whether someone needs coaching on one problem type or with a whole subject area, my favorite part of the tutoring/teaching experience is when a student can apply what we've learned completely independently. In my six years as a classroom teacher and my twelve years as a tutor, there has hardly been an age range or subject that I haven't had the pleasure of working with. My specific experience includes:1. Pre-Algebra and Algebra tutoring2. Elementary Reading, Writing, Social Studies and Science teaching and tutoring3. Middle School Science, Math and ELA teaching and tutoring4. High School and College English and essay writing (English with an emphasis in Linguistics and World Literature was one of my college majors, and it is also an area in which I have tutored extensively)5. Test preparation (from MAP to to the GRE!) tutoringMy years as a classroom teacher for the fourth, fifth and seventh grades and as a tutor for third grade through post-graduate test preparation have provided me with so many strategies to help students of all ages, which is important since every student has different strengths and interests. We will find the strategies that work best for you and then make sure that they are ingrained so that you can use them in the future.
