I create enriching, engaging learning experiences for students of all ages, levels, and learning styles--online or in person. My teaching career began at a unique school with one on one teaching. Now as a full time academic tutor, I carry an additional 17 years of innovative classroom teaching (certified) and 10 years of graduate work in curriculum and instruction. I pride myself on using creativity, knowledge and experience to foster student success, even for those who have previously struggled to attain it. I patiently challenge all my students to understand their own learning styles so they learn better.

I provide expert coaching (as someone who scored in the highest percentile) in taking the SAT, the gateway to the top colleges you dream about! From getting a high SAT score the first time to wanting to master a re-test, preparation is key.

I help guide the college admissions process because stellar applications and essays can ensure your entrance!
