I am an expert in personalized tutoring and consulting to meet the needs of every student, every family, and every organization.

I am a teacher who cares even more about building motivation than I do about improving grades.

I attended two world-class universities and have taught in college and high school and in the corporate classroom.

Wherever you are - from middle school to college bound to university students and beyond - you can rely on me for your class support tutoring, special projects assistance, software training, and test preparation courses.

I really enjoy working with homeschool families to plan individualized, standards-aligned programs, and to help with instruction of advanced courses of study.

I am available for both in-person and online sessions that can meet your needs and schedule.
