"Welcome Prospective Students and Parents!!

I have 3000+ hours of experience tutoring English, writing, and reading and a 3000+ hours tutoring general computers, biology, and chemistry.

Overview:

I have tutored a range of subjects from English, writing, reading, literature, SAT and ACT prep, ESL/ESOL, chemistry, biology, general computers as well as study and research skills. I have experience tutoring students at various levels including K-12, college students, adults, native and non-native speakers.
