"I am a veteran educator with over 25 years of classroom experience. The bulk of my career has been spent serving elementary and middle school students with specialization in English Language Arts. I have tutored students in a variety of subject/content areas, but reading comprehension and writing strategies are my strong suit.

When working with struggling learners, I believe that building a positive rapport is paramount. Throughout my career, I have been described by students as kind, patient, and understanding. I take the time to get to know my students as people so that they are more motivated to learn and receptive to my constructive feedback and direction. Additionally, as the parent of two children with ADHD, I am familiar with strategies and coping mechanisms to assist students with learning differences.

I have always considered myself a grammar nerd! While pursuing my teaching degree, I completed 24 hours of coursework in English simply because I enjoyed the content. I am a strong writer, as well, and take great pleasure in helping others develop strategies to more effectively express themselves.

I look forward to connecting with you to determine if we are the right fit!" less...
