"Hi, and thank you for visiting my profile. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education and a Masters in Reading and Writing Education. I tutor students in English, Social Studies, Math, Science, and Foreign Languages and, using their assignments as a springboard, I teach them study and executive function skills. I also help 11th and 12th graders navigate through the college selection and application process.

I’ve been working with high school and middle school students for thirty years. My roles as a Learning Specialist and a Study Skills and Executive Function Specialist have exposed me to vast amounts of curriculum and varied academic expectations in all subject areas. I am also a Reading and Writing Specialist and teach students specific skills including decoding and spelling words, reading fluency, reading comprehension, paragraph writing, and writing organized 5-paragraph essays and research papers using the writing process. For every student I adapt my teaching methods to meet their individual needs, which allows them to learn thoroughly and retain information in a variety of different ways.

My goal is for students to feel comfortable, engaged and productive every time we work together. I believe parent communication and involvement is important for optimal student success so I keep parents updated and always welcome questions and suggestions. Please contact me to talk specifically about what you’re looking for in a tutor or to schedule a lesson!" less...
