I have been tutoring for 15 years. I have a Master's Degree in Speech-Language Pathology. I love tutoring English language speaking skills and literacy (Reading, Writing, Spelling, and Grammar). I like building relationships wirh students based on respect and incorporating a student's interests and keeping the curriculum engaging. I am back in school studying music (Voice/Singing, Theory/Composition, Sight reading, Sightsinging and Piano). I love singing and writing lyrics. I enjoy singing in different languages such as Italian, German, and Spanish.

I have built a stellar reputation on successful results with students and clients, which has lead to a chain of referrals. I conduct face to face tutoring and business with students and clients because personal communication is so important for the success for all. I love seeing students "get it." What we have been working on starts coming together and it manifests in better grades, more self confidence, that knowing look of "I can do this."

I have a current active CA teaching credential, an M.A. in Education and Second Language Acquisition, as well many certifications in English Language Learning as well as reading. I have done extensive research in the field of language learning specifically English as a Second Language (ESL), I taught middle school for 6 years (ESL, social studies, reading and writing), as well as ESL for adults. Everyone learns differently and I love teaching children, teens and adults how to learn in a way that works for the individual....

I graduated at the top of my class from Harvard College and Yale Law School. While at Harvard, I tutored students with and without special needs in math and other subjects. I have been a practicing lawyer for about 25 years, and one of my main clients – – a Wall Street investment banker type – – hires me primarily to polish and edit his reports. I also have three children ranging from elementary school to high school, so I am quite familiar with how important it is to make learning fun and simplify /draw analogies to concepts that the student already understands. I enjoy figuring out each student’s particular learning style and coming up wit

Exceptional communication and feedback for classes which helps to improve student's academic performance over time and overall competency and appreciation for the English language. I enjoy improving my students' expertise in English through academic guidance and encouragement in order for them to achieve their full academic potential.
