"I'm retired now, but I still have quite a bit of energy left. I am confident that I can assist my students in becoming more confident and more successful. Having had years of experience with high school and college bound English students, I can assist with ACT and SAT preparation.

I have been an English and theater teacher for over thirty five years. I also know a great deal about test anxiety issues from personal experience. I've taught in a wide variety of settings and circumstances and I think this helps me to be compassionate. I'm a good cheer leader...we all need some encouragement, and I can promise that I will give honest and positive feedback. I know that I have assisted many students with improving their reading scores and with developing appreciation for great literature.

This positive outlook is the basis of my tutoring methods. Together with my students, I will find what works for them...what approach will meet their individual needs and goals." less...
