I am a highly qualified, experienced former high school English teacher who now enjoys tutoring students online and in person. I am an encouraging, energetic, and compassionate tutor who loves working with students of all abilities and backgrounds. For the past seventeen years, I have tutored college, high school, and ESL students, along with younger students who need to improve their writing, reading, and speaking skills. One of my favorite quotes by William B. Yeats is: Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. I love helping people and enjoy making people feel more confident; you will be thrilled with your result

I have a generous amount of experience working with struggling students. I have adapted curriculum to fit the needs of each individual student. It is my goal to find which learning pattern works for each student. Every student can be successful when the student is clear what learning methods and styles work for him/her. I enjoy helping and supporting a student to find their way of learning material. I love when students start clicking with and understanding the material. ....

Education is a life long pursuit of mine. I believe that one should strive to discover and learn new things, for this reason I am drawn to the words of Mark Van Doren, “the art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.” I look forward to increasing the skill set of my students through personalized tutoring focused on communication, listening, reading, writing, and critical thinking. Here's a snapshot of my teaching experience, at what level I taught, and my education. Feel free to visit my website as well for additional information!
