I am a writer, journalist and professor. I also have extensive experience working with students of all ages as well as professional staff in large government, corporate and non-profit organizations. These include corporations, hospitals, government agencies and top officials in them. My goal for all of and myself has been: Let's Do Our Personal Best to Get Our Best Results.This doesn't mean a drill-sergeant approach to improving your writing, but more so a personal style of helping achieve your personal goals by alleviating your fears and frustrations while replacing them with confidence and a plan for yourself.In my 33 years as a college writing professor I have taught - and still do - in-person and online. The subjects include journalism, research and report writing, memoir writing, technical writing, business writing, creative writing fictional and non-fictional, short-story writing, constitutional law, political science, and historical/cultural analysis.I have been writer for the Associated Press as well as weekly and daily newspapers and magazines.

I am a junior at Southern Connecticut State University where I recently transferred to study Exercise Science after completing my first two years at Yale University.

With 28 years of experience as a dedicated kindergarten teacher, I bring a deep understanding of early childhood education to my tutoring practice. I specialize in tutoring all elementary school subjects and working with kindergarten through sixth-grade students. I hold a valid teacher certification in elementary education (K6), along with two master's degreesone in Remedial Reading and Language Arts (with certification), and another in Special Education. In addition to classroom teaching, I have tutored students in grades kindergarten through sixth in reading and writing, helping them strengthen their literacy skills and build confidence. I use a variety of evidence-based strategies tailored to each child's learning stylewhether phonics instruction, guided reading, writing workshops, or language games to boost engagement. I also believe in using the science of reading to guide instruction, and I currently implement these research-based methods in my classroom every day. This includes decodable texts, multisensory materials, and structured literacy routines that support students at every level. Throughout my career, I've supported students with diverse learning styles and needs, including those receiving special education services. My inclusive, nurturing approach helps every child feel confident and supported, no matter their background or ability level. I place a strong emphasis on building student confidence and self-esteem. I believe that developing a trusting relationship with a student is the foundation for effective learning. When children feel seen, valued, and cared for, they are more motivated and open to growth. I also believe in strong communication with parents and caregivers. I provide regular updates and offer strategies to support learning at home, ensuring that families feel connected and informed. Whether your child needs help building foundational skills, developing literacy, or staying on track in any core subject, I'm here to help them grow and succeed. I'm passionate about creating a warm, encouraging environment where students can thriveand I'm happy to work with anyone ready to learn! I'm available for tutoring on weeknights and weekends. I will have more availability in the summer.

Practicing math on your own can feel like banging your head against a wall, especially when every example seems to skip the exact step you're stuck on. I help students make math feel less frustrating and more manageable. With years of tutoring experience, I've learned how to explain difficult concepts in a clear, direct, and practical way. My sessions focus on understanding the reasoning behind each problem, not just memorizing steps. We start with what you're currently working on, figure out where things are breaking down, walk through targeted examples, and then have you practice applying the method on your own.

I previously taught ELA and Math at the Huntington Learning Center in Brooklyn.The 3 subjects I would like to teach are ESL, Spanish, and Math. The latter 2 are subjects that students struggle with immensley in school, and I was one of them until I developed better study habits.While I study languages for professional reasons, it is also a hobby that I do for fun. My other hobbies are watching baseball, playing, writing, and listening to music, going to the gym, and playing video games.

Hello! I moved to Colorado from Connecticut approximately 3 years ago. I have a Bachelors degree in both Psychology and Elementary Education, as well as a Masters degree in Reading. I have obtained the "Highly Qualified" educator status, based on my exemplary PRAXIS scores. In addition, I have been an elementary school teacher for the past 15 years, having taught 2nd grade for 13 years and 3rd grade for 2 years. I elected to not continue my classroom position in order to support my father during a challenging year of medical procedures. I have worked with children of all ages and backgrounds since I was a child myself. I bond with children quickly and easily and have learned numerous behavioral and academic strategies to cater to specific individual needs. I look forward to the opportunity to work with students once again.

I have over 20 years of experience in teaching and tutoring students of all ages. After earning my Bachelor's of Science in Spanish and ESL, I went on to teach in the public school system. While teaching 4th, and then 3rd grade bilingual students, I earned my Masters of Science in Reading Education. In 2009, I decided to put my professional career on hold in order to raise my children. As my children reached school-age I made the decision to home-educate them. I have been teaching my own children for 10 years now and currently teach all subjects at the 5th and 8th grade levels. While homeschooling my children, I continue to tutor other students as well. Throughout this time I have been tutoring students in everything from sewing and crafting to learning to read to editing college essays. I am a passionate teacher who loves what I do! It is my joy to walk beside students as they grow and walk through their educational journey.
