"Sometimes all it takes to achieve a goal is someone to come alongside and help; that is my mission as a tutor. With both an undergraduate as well as a master's degree in education, my experience ranges across a wide spectrum, both of student personality types as well as specific academic goals.

Using the analogy of a sports coach, I will instruct, encourage, and critique students in their progress toward their goals. My tutoring skill set includes SAT and ACT prep (math, verbal, and writing, as well as test-specific techniques and timing strategies) as well as essay writing, literary analysis, and English grammar. I also have several years of experience with middle school students, and am comfortable tutoring algebra and geometry.

I am a certified teacher with several years of experience guiding student development of personal study skills. I have helped students who needed simply a physical organization (books, papers, notebooks, etc. to be put in a system) as well as those who need more of mental organization (which steps of a project to do first, how to break down a larger concept into smaller & more manageable parts, etc.). I also have experience teaching students how to set academic goals and work (specifically and measurably) toward those goals.

I look forward to hearing from you and helping formulate a strategy for academic success!" less...
