"I have been an English Language Arts Tutor and Educator for twenty-five years! I was an Assistant Professor of Creative Writing and Literature for five years and decided to Freelance. Tutoring inspires me, and I enjoy working with people of all ages.
I taught Middle School English online for a year, and now I tutor online which is fun and very similar! I'm Montessori trained in Elementary Level ages 6-12; MA state licensed to teach English in grades 5-12; I'm AP English certified, and have lots of experience tutoring students who have various learning differences such as ADHD, Dyslexia, Visually and Hearing Impaired, Gifted and Talented and English Language Learners.
I have a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing Poetry and am a nationally published poet. I also studied poetry with two famous poets; James Tate and Robert Bly. I was a Poet-in-Residence at an independent school for gifted children.
The subjects I specialize in are: Poetry, Eco-Literature, Nonfiction, Reading, Writing, Literature in English of any genre and time period and culture, Handwriting, Creative Writing, Essay Writing, Vocabulary, Study Skills, Researching, Grammar, Proofreading/Editing, Test Prep and Career Development Skills. I will assess your skill level and interests and create a learning plan that we can agree on together, which will help strengthen your abilities and confidence. I don't assign homework unless you request it. I also will give you progress reports every month so you can track your progress.
I try to be flexible with my time. While I do have a 24 hr cancellation policy, I offer makeup sessions. I enjoy tutoring online. When I tutor in-person, I can reserve study rooms at the nearest library to you or tutor right in your home. However, I am happy to travel to any location that is easiest for you.
I look forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve success in your studies!" less...
