Experience
I am a mature, award-winning certified teacher with more than two decades of successful teaching and tutoring experience in a wide variety of subjects, including reading, writing, math, Special Needs, ESL, homework assistance, online classes, study skills/organization, and SAT/ACT/PSAT/TOEFL prep. My students have ranged in age from five to adult, and have included typical, gifted, and international students, as well as students with Special Needs including ADHD, learning disability, cognitive impairment, and ASD. I get results by assessing the student's abilities and learning style, and creating a program tailored to the individual learner. I have a wealth of teaching materials appropriate for every age and level. I am also a meticulous writer and editor, and have served as a college admissions coach by helping students with test prep., college essays, resumes, and applications. My approach is friendly and patient, and I get to know each student on a personal level. I love watching students succeed! Whether you're looking to catch up, keep up, or get ahead, let my passion, knowledge, and experience help you achieve your goals!
