TEST PREP:
To help you feel well-prepared and confident come test day, we will develop an individualized plan based on your previous test results, goal score, unique challenges, and personal strengths.
During sessions, we will work on content knowledge, subject-specific strategies, anxiety reduction, error analysis, and essay-writing techniques to maximize your test score. My test prep students have earned point increases that have paved the way to top choice schools, college scholarships, and a major boost in self-confidence.
PreK-8 TUTORING:
Through observation and discussion, we'll get to the root of your student’s knowledge gaps, pacing issues, and study challenges. As needed, a skills assessment will help me design a custom tutoring program just for your student.

Need a paper proofread and edited? No need for in-person sessions -- just send me your draft, I'll send you a quote, and we'll get it done!

In addition to standardized test prep, I've helped many students with college app prep, admissions essays, career development, computer orientation, nursing studies, resume' writing, time mgmt, and homework needs.

How did you get started teaching?
As a high-achiever in grade school, I helped my fellow classmates with their schoolwork. I then did a tutoring extracurricular experience as a high school senior and went on to royally bomb my first years of college.
From that experience, I learned to study smarter, not harder, and consequently earned a 3.94 GPA in my masters program.I am grateful that I have seen both sides of the learning experience as I am a better, more compassionate tutor because of the different outcomes and perspectives I've had.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with students of all ages and learning abilities as well as many types of cognitive challenges. Most students struggle with self-motivation and confidence. I aim to help each student identify personal strengths to turn goals into reality.
