I've successfully taught and tutored ten-year-olds, teens and adults.

Whatever your age or background, I will listen carefully to learn your strengths, discover the gaps in your knowledge, and find creative explanations that you can understand and relate to your own experiences.

I majored in English at UCLA, graduating magna cum laude, and wrote for the Daily Bruin in college. I can improve both your reading comprehension and your writing skills by working on vocabulary, grammar, rhetoric, tone, style and control.

My Hebrew is fluent, acquired over years of study at UCLA, at Midreshet Lindenbaum in Israel, and the Hebrew University Ulpan. Whether you want to master classical or modern Hebrew, I can help you. My Hebrew library for children includes primers, nursery rhymes, illustrated dictionaries, and picture books. For adults, I have high school and college level workbooks, modern literature, and extensive Judaica.

I've also tutored in math, from the basics of arithmetic, fractions and decimals through algebra and geometry.

I truly enjoy the achievements of my students. They sense my enthusiasm and grow more eager to learn as a result.

Algebra 1

My own math studies continued through one term of college calculus. I teach Prealgebra, Algebra I, Geometry and associated skills needed for the PSAT and SAT math.

Vocabulary

I majored in English at UCLA, where I graduated magna cum laude and wrote for the Daily Bruin. I have also taught a summer journalism class for 10-year-olds, who produced newsletters distributed to campers in their age division.

I am comfortable teaching both children and adults the grammar and vocabulary they need to succeed at school or work.

Prealgebra

Reading

When I teach elementary reading, I work on more than phonics, decoding, vocabulary and comprehension. The ability to read aloud clearly and well is also important, so I pay attention to elocution skills (such as knowing when to pause and how to modulate the voice to convey meaning). These skills are particularly needed for younger students who are called upon to read aloud in school. Children who read in a monotone may be missing an opportunity to let their intelligence and understanding of the... Read More

SAT Math

My own math studies continued through one term of college calculus. I teach Prealgebra, Algebra I, Geometry and associated skills needed for the PSAT and SAT math.

GRE

For some students, the essays are the most difficult part of the GRE. During our sessions, I explain how to use your time effectively, spot the issues, and organize your essay clearly. I grade your practice essays and edit them to show you specific ways you can improve your writing and your logic to increase your score on the issue task and argument task. I also teach the verbal reasoning and quantitative reasoning skills tested by the multiple choice portions of the GRE, focusing on areas where... Read More

PSAT

In addition to teaching the math and english skills required to perform well on the PSAT, I share tips and techniques for tackling the multiple choice format and managing your time effectively during the test.

I scored in the 98th percentile when I took the PSAT. I majored in English at UCLA, where I continued my math studies through the first quarter of college level calculus.

I recommend that you bring a practice test you have already taken to our first lesson, so we can... Read More

Spelling

A little fun can help the lesson along. Putting spelling words into sentences that raise a smile may make the words more memorable.

Spelling in English is complicated because we have imported words that originated in many languages, each with their own spelling rules. When appropriate, we look at etymology (trace the language in which the word originated) for clues to the correct spelling.

Elementary Math

Simple explanations reinforced by math games, mental arithmetic, and yes, practice drills, are key to building success and confidence in young math students. When designing my lesson plans, I always consider the motor skills, interests, and attention span of the child I am teaching, so that our math activities will be age-appropriate and effective tools for learning.

Elementary (K-6th)

I have both a strong general studies background and experience working with young students. I taught a summer journalism class for 10-year-olds.

Hebrew

Choose to learn modern or classical Hebrew, I have textbooks suitable for either approach, and an extensive Hebrew language library. Whether you want to master the language of the Jewish prayers or read a Hebrew newspaper, I can help you!

My own Hebrew studies include the equivalent of 4 years college level Hebrew at UCLA, the Hebrew University Ulpan (Level 6), and five years of Hebrew immersion living in Israel. I have tutored in the Hebrew University Beit Midrash program. I also taught... Read More

Needlework

I have hand embroidered challah covers, linens, costumes, and framed pieces for hanging in a variety of stitches and styles, including crewel work, Brazilian stitchery, candlewicking, counted cross stitch, applique and more.
