About Me

I have been involved in education in various capacities for over 25 years, with a focus mostly on grades 3-12. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Social Studies Education from Syracuse University and a Master's degree from the University of Maryland Baltimore County in Education Policy. The focus of my past research and tutoring has been on assisting struggling students to reach their full potential. Although I have experience in tutoring many topics, I believe my true success has been working with students in English, Social Studies, and study and organizational skills. I have been trained in using academic interventions in both traditional and online settings. In my work, I have extensive experience in using data to pinpoint specific skills that students need to understand larger concepts. I believe that assessments and testing answer some questions, but more importantly, they should also raise new ideas to individualize instruction for each student and their unique learning styles. I have worked over the years to develop effective professional development for teachers which has strengthened my own skills in tutoring students. I am passionate about education, love to learn from my students, and I continue to strive to make sure all students have the best opportunities to succeed and enjoy learning.
