I am a passionate, dynamic educator who will go to the ends of the earth, and back, to ensure my students fully comprehend whatever it is they need or want to learn.I have a Bachelor's degree in English Literature from Lesley University. Upon graduating, I became a tutor at the university's Center for Academic Achievement. Following that, I earned a certificate to Teach English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) from the Boston Language Institute. I then transitioned to EF International, an internationally renowned language academy. Using this experience, I moved to South Korea to teach English as language for over two years. While there, I published a book, wrote a theatrical play, acted for the screen and stage, and was also a radio personality.With the years of experience I have accumulated in front of the class, working one on one, as well as in front of the stage and camera, working with me is the best way to achieve your academic goals.

I am an enthusiastic, passionate and motivated teacher. I am certified in Elementary Education, Spanish and ESL. Currently, I teach high school Spanish and tutor privately. I have taught numerous SAT Reading and Writing courses and tutored many subjects over the past 10 years. I believe every student learns differently and gear my lessons according to each student's needs.

I went to Lesley University in Cambridge Ma for my Master's degree and it is Severe Special Needs. I was a special needs teacher for 14 years after that. I worked mostly with students in Elementary School and with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have experience with children with many other disabilities as well.When the pandemic happened I decided to be a stay at home mom to help my children with their school work.I love teaching and it is my greatest passion. I greatly enjoy when children understand the littlest things. My favorite part is watching the light bulb go off when they get it! My teaching philosophy is to have fun. You are not learning if you're not enjoying what you are doing!

As a retired teacher with over 22 years of experience in a public Montessori school, I have dedicated my career to fostering a love for learning in students from 1st through 6th grade. I hold a Master's in Science in Education from Lesley University and a Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education from Armstrong State College. My passion lies in tutoring elementary school subjects, including English, Math, Reading, Science, and Phonics. I believe in creating a supportive and engaging learning environment that meets the unique needs of each student, using a hands-on, student-centered approach that encourages exploration and critical thinking. I am motivated by the joy of seeing my students achieve their academic goals and develop confidence in their abilities. In my free time, I enjoy reading and exploring new educational methodologies to continually enhance my tutoring practice.

I have always wanted to be a teacher and work with students since a young age. I have been teaching since 2011 but I have worked with students in church, tutoring, coaching for longer. I love seeing students succeed and get excited about learning. Every student is able to learn not matter what. Everyone learns differently.

From Kindergarten through graduate school, I help students overcome obstacles, clearing the pathway to success. As a tutor and educator for over 20 years, I care about my students and work hard for them. I am a dedicated teacher because I believe that education can change lives.As a reading specialist, I have developed strategies based on Orton Gillingham methodology, which guides struggling readers to become fluent readers. I developed a reading program for tutoring students (K-3) online. The program has been very successful in improving decoding and fluency skills. I recently added a comprehension component, which has been equally successful. Now, I can tutor students in reading regardless of distance.Earning my doctorate in education required developing expert writing and research skills. I am proficiency in APA and MLA formatting and tutor high-school, college, and graduate students. I edit research papers and dissertations and tutor students on organization and formatting.As an educator and tutor, I love what I do and find the rewards of teaching to be unmatched.

After graduating in 2007 from Clark University with a business degree, I went straight into account management, and remained in various similar positions for seven years. Knowing that these jobs were not what my heart truly desired, I looked into pursuing my dream of working with children, and started graduate school at Lesley University in 2014. I completed my degree requirements in December 2015 and will have my Masters in Elementary Education (1-6) degree conferred in February 2016. I have my SEI endorsement and initial licenses in elementary education and mathematics (1-6).Since September of 2014 I have been working as a kindergarten paraprofessional at the Carlton Innovation School in Salem, MA. I also provide substitute coverage when needed in classrooms throughout the school. My experiences as a para range from assisting the kindergarten teacher with classroom management to leading full class instruction if she is unavailable. I have also taken a role as an in home tutor for a student at the Carlton who has a medical condition which requires him to be hospitalized for three days each month. I have worked with him weekly since he was in the third grade, and he is now a fourth grade student. During my student teaching I led full class and small group lessons. I planned and taught a week long Lucy Calkins literacy unit and worked with a guided reading group. I proctored many assessments, including the Fountas and Pinnell benchmark assessment system, MCAS and ANet. I executed a week-long fifth grade mathematics unit and gained knowledge of the EnVision math curriculum. Through these experiences I have built strong personal relationships with my students, parents, and school staff.

I enjoy working with young people in general but especially in academics. Helping with study skills is essential. There are times when a focus on learning styles is as important as the curriculum.

I am currently an adjunct professor at a private college in Boston where I teach English - both Literature and Composition - as well as several courses in the Humanities, including Art History. In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I very much enjoy meeting with my students during office hours where I have the opportunity to work individually with anyone seeking extra help. During a typical meeting I spend as much time listening as instructing. My goal is to help a student gain greater understanding of the material but just as importantly to help build confidence through practice and instruction that is customized to meet a particular student's needs. I think the best tutoring session occurs when there is a give-and-take of questions, responses and recommended solutions: maintaining a dialogue is vital. I find it very rewarding when I observe one of my students improve in an area that was originally daunting, whether that involves revising ideas in a paper, mastering material for an upcoming exam, proofreading a final draft, or gaining the confidence to join in the next class discussion. My favorite areas are Writing, (anything from the fundamentals to research essays) Literature, Art History and Drama. In my spare time I enjoy reading short stories and novels, watching plays - live performances whenever possible - and rooting for the Red Sox!

I have my BA in History from Salve Regina University, and my Master's in Education from Lesley University. I have been teaching and tutoring for the past four years in the greater Boston area. I am a certified teacher for history grades 8-12 and have teaching experience in both middle schools and high schools. I have tutored all ages and love working with many subjects such as History, ELA, Writing and developing Math skills with younger students! I have worked with many students on IEPs and love to help them strengthen their organization and focus. I believe that my teaching style adapts to ensure that each student can reach their full potential. By understanding where students have weaknesses, we can improve in these areas so that their grades improve and that they feel more confident. Outside of tutoring, I love to spend time with my family, friends and my dog.

In 2015, I graduated from Lesley University with a B.A. in Literature and a minor in Education. I received my M.A. in English and Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University in 2019. I am a literacy interventionist for grades three to five but have worked with children of all ages. I also provide detailed feedback on college essays focusing on higher and lower order concerns. I enjoy helping students overcome any obstacles they may face in reading and writing and ultimately foster a love for both. Building students' confidence in literacy helps them reach their academic goals and is vital to living successful lives. With over ten years of experience in special education, I can address various learning challenges and will tailor my instruction to the individual.

I am a graduate of Providence College with a Bachelor's of Science. I am currently enrolled in a graduate program at Lesley University where I am studying Secondary Education. In the fall I will be starting my fourth year as a 9th grade Algebra and Geometry teacher.Prior to teaching, I was a substitute teacher for two years. I started tutoring Algebra this past year; I enjoy working with students one-on-one.I understand that math isn't everyone's best subject, but it can be practiced! Nobody should be categorized as a "math person" or "not a math person," because it is a skill that I can help you acquire. Please let me make math easier for you!
