About this tutor
OPEN FOR BUSINESS! Yes, I am available for in-home or Google Duo instruction during the coronavirus school closings! Also, if you were not happy with your child's interim progress report or benchmark testing scores, you need to give me a call. And, please know that "Summer slide" is real! Students really do forget! I will be setting up my summer schedule. Preference will be given to my current students. I am a retired elementary principal with a Bachelors, two Masters and a Doctorate degree in the field of literacy/education. I have been an adjunct professor in reading at Bowie State University, Morgan State University, the Community College of Baltimore, and Howard University. One of my MSDE certifications is in Reading and Literacy. I’m considered to be an effective expert in the field of Literacy. I am not a franchise that requires years and years of ineffective, expensive tutoring. I provide effective corrective and remedial instruction with strategies that work in phonemic awareness/word recognition, comprehension, study skills and content area reading proficiency. You will begin to see positive results in your child’s overall academic performance in as soon as two or three months, if you provide regular, twice weekly, tutoring sessions. You must be consistent! Twice a week sessions are recommended for best results. Please note that I’m only in the state of Maryland; currently serving Howard, Montgomeryand Prince Georges Counties. I’m available 7 days a week. My day typically begins at 8:00 a.m. or earlier, on the weekends. If you are truly serious about improving your child’s academic progress, give me a call. Currently, I have a waiting list.
Soon I will be announcing my 2020 summer program, a one on one reading boot camp. Your child will return to school empowered and armed will skills that will propel them academically.
The amazing progress that my students make in a relatively short period of time, if parents make the investment of 2-3 sessions per week. I like the fact that my students experience overall academic success as a result of my personal intervention. One on one tutoring is effective. Yes, I use Google Duo. I have several parents who use it now. They are thrilled.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I provide one-on-one thorough instruction in remedial and corrective reading, as well as, phonemic awareness and word recognition skills. My materials are professionally developed, highly personalized, customized and individualized. Typically, I spent $45-$70 on instructional materials just to get started. Additional instruction is provided in comprehension strategies, which include critical and higher-order thinking skills. Test taking strategies are incorporated in my instruction process. The key is teaching students how to take any type of test. Twice weekly sessions are highly recommended for best and quickest results. I’m not cheap, quick or gimmicky! But I’m reasonably priced.
