As an avid reader, I understood early the impact reading can have on a child's academic success, as well as unlocking creativity. Reading allows you the opportunity to explore different ideas, places, people and cultures otherwise inaccessible in the real world, but though words by our imagination, we are able to experience these things. Being exposed to other cultures through books peaked my interest in learning different languages such as Spanish; therefore, earning my Bachelors Degree in English and Masters in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of other Languages) was natural.

I have worked for the Board of Education for 10 years and have learned invaluable instructional methods. My teaching and tutoring experience have been rewarding as I've watched students blossom into avid readers who previously had no interest or confidence in themselves as readers/writers. Visual learning and various reading and writing strategies have proven to be successful in increasing students reading and writing skills in school entrance exams. As well as taking into account the social and emotional aspect of learning.

My expertise is in grammar, ESL/PSAT/ACT entrance exams, and 3-8th grade ELA state test prep. Thinking out the box and using cutting edge new learning strategies are essential in creating an engaging learning experience

I look forward to working with you and creating a wonderful, fun learning experience.
