"I am often in the top tier of WyZant tutors because I care, and I am skilled. Working one-on-one with my students allows me to find individualized ways to help them learn the material and develop skills that build their confidence and performance. Our tutoring sessions are positive and collaborative. When they succeed, we both celebrate.

If you need feedback on a college application essay or a coach for college writing, I can help. If you need to build content skills and strategies to excel on the SAT or ACT, I can help. If you need to improve your skills in analyzing literature, I can help. I have over 15 years of teaching experience as well as three years of tutoring experience in a university writing center where I was professionally certified as a tutor. In addition, I have five years of private tutoring experience with nearly 2500 hours logged on Wyzant alone. In teaching, I was consistently rated as "Highly Effective," in the classroom.

My experience teaching first-year composition courses at college has helped me to transition my high school students successfully into post-secondary education. They often return from college and tell me that the work we did in the classroom was exactly what they needed when transferring into college. Because of my experience in grade levels seven through twelve and first-year college composition, my students receive an excellent vertical alignment.
