About Me

I am ready to help you succeed! If you're trying to achieve your goals, I totally understand your desire to learn and the need to have someone there to help you out. I couldn't keep up with the class as a kid. After a few years, I had developed the ability to focus and organize myself so that I would be able to succeed in the classroom in college. Lifelong learning is a habit that can be developed and appreciated. It doesn't matter whether I had a billion dollars or not, I would still want to teach and discover something new every day. In my experience listening to my students and understanding how they wish to learn is one of the best ways to help them reach their academic goals. The degrees I hold are in Theatre, Film, and Interactive Media. Over the course of my academic career I have studied literature, writing, and other languages. I have also received a certification from Harvard University in Shakespeare's Life and Work. I am an expert in language and theatre arts with an affinity for the classics. I firmly believe that being able to comprehend what you read and then write about it in a cognizant matter is one of the most important things to master when you are young. I have taught elementary students in grades K-6, middle school students in grades 7-9, high school students grades 10-12 and college students up to the graduate level.. One of my areas of expertise is in the preparation of SAT and ACT test-takers with a focus on reading and writing. In addition, I have assisted students in preparing college entrance essays. Over the last 30 years, I have been actively involved in US Government and politics through the work I do as a volunteer. This makes me uniquely qualified to tutor civics, history, policy and public speaking. It's a pleasure to meet you. I live in Philadelphia, with a few cats, and an obstinate pug named Elle Woods.
