Tutoring has always been one of my supreme passions. I believe in blending academic work with play: scientific curiosity with artistic enthusiasm--and the results have always paid off.

I started tutoring privately, as a college student. I worked with one little girl from the ages of 7-11, tutoring her in all subjects--and every session was a delight. After receiving my BA, I started teaching ESL to children from other countries. Later, while I was pursuing my MFA degree, I tutored children ages 5-16 at a tutoring company for over seven years. While there, I helped students with their homework in all subjects, often using individualized ELA and Mathematics curriculum. Similar to this job, I also tutored elementary school children in homeless shelters and worked with at-risk high school students in a college readiness program at various centers and organizations. I've also worked with children in a variety of creative ways. At several institutions, I taught music, movement and drama. All of my tutoring sessions are interactive and fun, which is vital for children as they learn and grow.

In addition to working with children, I also have extensive experience with the college classroom. Since receiving my PhD from Binghamton University, I have taught several English Composition and Literature courses in institutions as varied as LaGuardia Community College and the College of Southern Nevada. At these, and other, institutions, I tutored my students extensively during office hours, helping with remediation or examination prep. As a scorer for both ETS's AP English and CUNY's ACT exams, I am in an excellent position to help students prepare for any high-stakes examination that requires written essaysa task that many students are challenged with.

Please feel free to set up a tutoring session. I promise that you'll love it!
