"Hello,

Welcome to my profile. I am a former high school English teacher, currently teaching in private. I have a openings for one-on-one sessions, but am also open to forming Homework Pods of two to three students.

I have been teaching and tutoring for over five years now. I can help you or your student with all ELA skills - reading comprehension, analytical and creative writing, grammar, vocabulary, or College Essays. I am also proficient in French, Math, and other subjects from Elementary through High School, College Writing, and Study Skills.

I originally come from Slovakia. I studied in Paris, FRANCE, United Kingdom (University of East Anglia) and in Massachusetts - at UMass, Amherst and women's Smith College. I hold a BA and MA in English, as well as a Master of Arts in Teaching degree with a specialization in high school English - I double-majored in Language and Literature & Education and Child Study.

My tri-lingual background enables me to understand and teach English and French grammar and composition effectively.

In Slovakia, I graduated from a demanding bilingual, Franco-Slovak high school, which helped me to still be proficient in middle and high school English and Math, as well as other subjects.

I hold teaching licenses in English 8-12 from Massachusetts and California

I scored 7 on IELTS - the English as a Second Language exam.

I hold a DELF certificate - specialty proficiency in French language awarded by the French government. 2nd out of 3 levels.

5th grade writing to low- and high-performing, private school students.

9-12 grade English also to both low- and high-performing, eager and reluctant students
