Elizabeth’s qualifications in specific subjects below.
ACT English
Reading and English have always been my highest scored testing areas, and I take great pleasure in assisting others to reach their individual level of excellence.
ACT Math
I completely understand test anxiety especially when it comes to Math. A student can be a creative English, Social Studies or Arts person, and still have the patience and persistence to gain an understanding of something that doesn't come naturally. Don't be afraid! YOU CAN PASS THE TEST!
ACT Reading
Reading and English have always been my highest scored testing areas, and I take great pleasure in assisting others to reach their individual level of excellence.
American History
Understanding the twists and turns of our nation's founding through to it's present-day complexities is a fascinating journey. And that's exactly how I approached tutoring in this area.
ASVAB
I understand test anxiety, and I am especially strong in assisting those who need help with the English and Math sections.
Autism
In 1997, I heard the words that parents really don't want to hear from a pediatrician, "I think your child is autistic". Diagnosed with mild/moderate autism, my twins boys are now 17 and our family is enjoying life. My husband and I learned how to teach our children from listening to other parents, teachers, aides, workshop leaders and coaches; and I combine that knowledge with my own professional ability to teach, to help students with their academic studies.
Elementary Math
Going to school I always excelled at English and Reading, but Math scared me until my Nana and Papa taught me to enjoy it. With setting up my own lemonade stand, cooking, measuring wood to build things, and playing board games; people that I loved made math real to me. Now I like to use some of these same techniques in my teaching.
Public Speaking
I enjoy coaching those entering the public speaking arena. I like to clarify and illuminate some key techniques to assist my clients in sharing their ideas in both informative and persuasive speeches. Through my experience teaching in the American Theatre for over twenty years I've helped many business, science, and others students from diverse backgrounds develop and improve their ability to speak and engage in public.
SAT Reading
Reading and English have always been my highest scored testing areas, and I take great pleasure in assisting others to reach their individual level of excellence.
SAT Writing
You can be a good writer, but still find test-taking in this area stressful. We will work to give you some tools to get through this roadblock while completing your exam.
Study Skills
As a former adjunct professor at the university level for 20 years, I've gained the knowledge of how to inspire and teach students to develop effective study skills for success with academics.
Theatre
Theatre has been a part of my life for many years, directing plays across the theatrical canon such as ROMEO AND JULIET, DEATH OF A SALESMAN, Brecht's ANTIGONE, and TO BE YOUNG, GIFTED AND BLACK. As an acting and writing coach, I enjoy bringing others' creativity to light.
Writing
Writing is a combination of self-expression and organized thinking on paper. Helping each individual to find their own voice is my highest goal in this area.
