"A Fulbright scholar, I hold a B.A. from Wesleyan University, an M.A. from Teachers College, Columbia University, and hold a current New York State teaching certification for grades 5-9. I have thirteen years experience as a classroom teacher, primarily as a middle school ELA and Social Studies teacher in New York City. Over the course of my career I have served a diverse population of learners and learning needs, and speak both English and Spanish. I specialize in reading and writing support, ELA and Social Studies.

Additionally, I have extensive tutoring experience. I began working as a peer writing tutor for my university while in college, and have provided one on one tutoring for students in upper elementary, middle school, and high school over the last decade. I have worked privately as well as for a tutoring company (CATES Tutoring) both in New York City and Brussels, Belgium. I have done everything from teaching an SAT prep Master Class, to providing one on one subject area support with homework, essay and written response writing, and application essays for students attending public schools, private schools, international schools, as well as homeschooled students." less...
