"Now Accepting New Students!

I am a former English teacher who transitioned back to communications - though I dearly miss my students and look forward to tutoring again! I have taught nearly every high school English and writing class, including: World Literature & American Literature (both regular and honors), AP Language & Composition, Dual Enrollment ENG 101 & 102, Creative Writing, Reading, and Journalism.

The biggest benefit to tutoring is the 1:1 lesson and connection. This level of interaction is just not available in the modern-day classroom - or anything close to it! Unless students feel comfortable asking questions or approaching their teachers after class, they often remain confused and even insecure about their performance.

Private tutoring is an absolute game-changer. In addition to one-on-one attention, there's no need for me to rush through lesson plans. We work on concepts until students "get it." Even then, we practice, practice, and practice some more. My goal is for students to walk into the testing room or turn in a paper and say, "I feel good about this."

TEST PREP: One of the biggest factors with the SAT, ACT and AP exams is test STRATEGY. In addition to building students' vocabulary, reading comprehension levels, and grammar skills, we work on skipping and guessing strategies, text-marking strategies, and timing elements. I can also assist with college essays. I can't write them for students; however, I can help with brainstorming, outlining, editing, and revision.

English test prep really goes beyond the tests themselves; most of my "tutees" have told me that our tutoring sessions have made a huge difference in their classroom performance. I've also had many students tell me that tutoring with me helped them gain valuable skills for college that they would have been lost without. I look forward to working with you!" less...
