About Me

I am a graduate of Rutgers University where I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, American Intercontinental University where I received a Master's in Instructional Technology, and completed all of my coursework and currently completing my dissertation for a PhD in Educational Technology at Walden University. I have worked in several major corporations as an Instructional Designer and Curriculum Designer before moving to Primary and Secondary Education. I am a published researcher in the area of utilizing technology with at- risk learners and designed an award winning tutoring system called One2One Mastery. I founded a successful company that provided diagnostic assessments and tutoring in 14 states with over 400 employees, primarily educators, and thousands of students as part of the "No Child Left Behind" program. I also founded a non-profit company that still provides hot meals, enrichment activities, and after school tutoring for underprivileged children. My philosophy is that "every child can learn if provided with proper instruction, the right tools and enough time". While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about the basics of Reading, Writing and Mathematics. My instructional foundation is Mastery Learning and Critical Thinking with a great deal of experience helping struggling learners. I believe a student with talent may be successful but if you build a student's self-confidence and self-esteem, they will strive to succeed on their own; first for you, then for themselves. I am a lifelong learner and love learning. It is that love of learning that I strive to impart with my students.
