I love seeing the light come on in a student's eyes that shows that they understand! I love seeing a student's skills develop and advance, giving them the chance to succeed in whatever they need or want to do, from passing courses and State Assessments for graduation requirements, to raising PSAT and SAT scores.
As a career teacher, I have the experience to tackle whatever challenge a student is facing in learning effective writing. I have worked with students with all sorts of needs, from executive functioning to confidence building.
Let my skills help you!
