I am a professional writer with over 20 years of experience. My teaching and tutoring experience spans over 15 years and includes learners of all ages. As a writer and reader of both fiction and nonfiction, I enjoy teaching reading comprehension, test-taking skills and literature. One of the techniques that has worked well for me is to find out as much as possible about a student so that I can customize my teaching techniques to correspond with their interests.

I have taught students in the "No Child Left Behind Program" in the subject areas of reading, grammar, writing, algebra and math. In the business world I have also taught business finance and real estate courses.

I believe that all children are capable of improving academically provided the instructor can find the best way to customize lesson plans to engage each student's natural interests and aptitudes.
