"I have over two decades of experience in education, serving as an AP English teacher, assistant principal, principal, curriculum director, and education consultant. My Bachelor's degree is in English Language & Literature, my Master's degree is in Literature, and my Education Specialist degree and Ph.D. are both in Educational Leadership. I am a certified teacher in both English and psychology for grades 6-12, and my administrative certificate spans grades K-12. I have been tutoring high school and college students on Wyzant since 2017, focusing on writing, literary analysis, test prep (SAT/ACT), and college admissions. I am passionate about education, and I love working directly with students to help them develop the skills they need to succeed both in school and in life.

I relate well to students of all ages, and I focus on making tutoring sessions engaging and fun, while helping them better understand and apply relevant concepts according to their needs and goals. Seeing students become more capable and confident as their performance improves makes teaching and tutoring the most rewarding profession.

I have taught a variety of English classes, including AP Language, AP Literature, American/World Literature, and Writing Lab. I served as an AP English Exam essay scorer for the College Board, and I’ve helped hundreds of teachers apply best practices in instruction. Although I’m driven purely by student success rather than personal distinction, I’ve been honored and humbled by a number of awards: Teacher of the Year, Elite 40 Under 40, Scholar of Excellence, Rookie of the Year, “Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers,” Exceptional Educator, and Most Influential Teacher.

I believe all students can learn and achieve at high levels with the proper support, and I look forward to opportunities for helping students make their best even better. Please reach out to me to set up a tutoring session today!" less...
