"Hello! I'm a certified English teacher in New Jersey with 12 years of experience working with students in grades 6 through 12. I’ve taught both middle and high school English, including honors, ICS, and inclusion classes, and I have extensive experience supporting English Language Learners as well as students with IEPs and 504 plans.

I hold a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership and am currently pursuing a second Master’s in English with a concentration in Rhetoric and Composition. This academic background strengthens both my teaching practice and my ability to support students in becoming more effective and confident writers.

Over the past three years, I’ve worked closely with 20–30 students on crafting personal essays for college applications. I guide students through every stage of the process—from brainstorming and outlining to revision and polishing—helping them express their stories with clarity, authenticity, and impact. Many of these students have been accepted to competitive colleges and universities, and I take pride in helping them find their voice.

More broadly, I specialize in reading comprehension, literary analysis, and academic writing. I’ve also helped students prepare for standardized assessments like the SAT and Accuplacer, simplifying test-taking strategies into clear, actionable steps. My sessions are always tailored to the individual, grounded in mutual respect, and designed to build skills as well as confidence.

If you're looking for a patient, experienced, and student-centered tutor—whether for academic success, test prep, or college admissions—I’d love to connect. Feel free to reach out with questions or to schedule a session!" less...
