"I bring over 25 years of teaching and tutoring experience, supported by a Master’s degree in Education with a specialization in Curriculum and Instruction. My work spans high school, college, and adult education, where I’ve taught English, study skills, and college readiness courses that strengthen reading comprehension, writing proficiency, speaking confidence, and critical thinking. My background also includes extensive experience in curriculum design and academic counseling, which enables me to create personalized, results-driven lessons for students with diverse goals and learning styles.

My teaching philosophy is student-centered and adaptable. I focus on understanding each learner’s strengths, challenges, and motivations to develop customized lessons that build both confidence and mastery. Whether we’re working on essay organization, SAT/ACT preparation, GED readiness, or effective study and note-taking techniques, I emphasize practical strategies, clear explanations, and consistent feedback. I also support students seeking to improve public speaking or professional communication by teaching how to organize ideas clearly, speak with confidence, and engage audiences effectively.

Over the years, my students have achieved significant academic growth—earning higher test scores, improving writing and research abilities, enhancing executive functioning, and gaining admission to competitive colleges and programs. My ultimate goal is not just to help students meet immediate academic targets but to equip them with the lifelong learning skills, discipline, and self-confidence they need to thrive academically, professionally, and personally." less...
