"I have a Ph.D. in English literature and have taught college, high school, and middle school. In 2008, I won the College Board Bob Costas Award for Excellence in Teaching Writing for my work on a student publication. My book, "History According to SAT," recently won a silver medal from the Nonfiction Book Association. I teach every aspect of English from grades 2-12 as well as AP English, AP History, SSAT/ISEE, SAT, ACT, and TOEFL. I also work with many students on college and graduate/professional school applications as well as on all types of essays and Master's Degree theses in subjects including chemistry, economics, and education. I strive to engage students, model critical thinking skills, and demonstrate that the learning process is interesting, useful, and fun." less...
