"I taught reviews for the SAT, ACT, and MCAT for a prestigious learning center and have helped hundreds of students boost their SAT and ACT scores. My students have gone on attend schools including Harvard (and Harvard Law), Yale, West Point, the Naval Academy, R1 State schools, and medical schools.

I hold a Ph.D. in musicology (Music History) and have doctoral specialty in General History. I spent 11 years as a Music History professor and ensemble director, and 8 years as History professor teaching Humanities, European and Ancient History, and both World Wars and the Holocaust. I am also certified in 3 subjects in the state of Florida and was a K-12 specialist and National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT) teaching at the PK Yonge Developmental Research School at the University of Florida. The school focuses on the science of instruction and I apply experience and educational research to helping students learn how to learn. From strategies to tactics to success, I love motivating my students and helping them devise a plan for mastery.

I served on University admissions committees for undergraduate and graduate programs and understand the importance of the writing and admissions process. Universities are looking for unique voices. From teaching writing in my History, Humanities, and graduate-level courses my gift is guiding students in recognizing and articulating their unique qualities." less...
