"Need help with AP Lang, college essays, or standardized test prep? I’m a certified English teacher with over a decade of experience teaching students in grades 6 through 12 and at the college level. I hold a B.A. in English and an Ed.M. in Education from Rutgers University, along with advanced degrees in Philosophy and Theology from St. Mary’s Seminary. My background includes teaching AP English Language and Composition, British Literature, middle school English, and college courses in philosophy, ethics, and world religions.

In addition to classroom teaching, I’ve led after-school tutoring programs, mentored students one-on-one, and worked extensively with learners preparing for the SAT, ACT (English and Reading), and AP exams. I specialize in reading comprehension, rhetorical and literary analysis, and structured writing support—including personal statements and college admissions essays. My approach blends high expectations with encouragement and individualized guidance.

Whether I’m helping a middle schooler find confidence in writing or preparing a senior for college-level analysis, I focus on unlocking each student’s potential to think critically, express themselves clearly, and grow as independent learners." less...
