"With more than 20 years of professional experience as an editor, author, and journalist, I am excited to offer my expertise as an English, writing, reading, and public speaking tutor. My journey in the field has inspired me to give back by teaching young people the essential skills for their education and future careers. My passion for teaching was evident when I volunteered as a teacher's assistant and art docent for my children's grade school classes. Being a good listener, using creative teaching methods, and demonstrating patience have been my strengths. I am also adept at adapting to different learning styles to ensure that every student's needs are met. Witnessing the "aha" moment in a student's eyes after working together is truly rewarding.

My professional background includes editing Maria Shriver's weekly Sunday Paper, blogging for Homes.com, and writing "Images of America: Agoura Hills," a book about a historic community in the Santa Monica Mountains. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from New York University, and I leverage my education and experience to create a tutoring environment that empowers students to thrive." less...
