Your first hour with any tutor is always 100% refundable!

I can improve the academic skills of any and every student, no matter what age! Let me be your coach!

I am a certified English teacher and writing coach who has experience working with gifted and advanced students as well as with students who have ADHD, Asperger Syndrome, dyslexia and auditory processing difficulties. I also specialize in motivating students to perform at their ability level.

I have experience working with *college students* and adults, as well.

"Research paper rescue" is another specialty of mine. If you are overwhelmed by a research paper or an essay assignment, contact me! I will help you get control of the project. I will also teach you tricks and tips that will make a real difference for you.

If writing assignments have always been your nightmare (or your child's nightmare), I can definitely help. I can also help with study skills and organizational skills.

My youngest client is in second grade, and my oldest client is a college student in her fifties.

Bottom Line: I am patient, sensitive, compassionate, and extremely competent. My students feel supported, affirmed, and motivated!

Current Openings as of 4/17/13: Monday afternoons between 12:30 and 2:30, Monday evenings after 7:30, Tuesday afternoons between 12:30 and 4:00, Wednesday evenings after 5:00, Thursday afternoons between 12:30 and 2:30, Thursday evenings after 8:00, and Saturday mornings after 10:00.

NOTE: I am currently accepting students for *summer sessions*, so contact me now to get the time slot you want! I am available from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays during summer and also have weekend availability. Don't wait to contact me, since my schedule fills up fast. I would love to work with you or your child this summer!

Writing

I can improve the writing of any and every student! I have taught middle school and high school English for more than ten years and have been tutoring since I was sixteen. My first job was tutoring college students who were struggling with writing essays and research papers. I have also worked with very young students in the elementary grades. I love teaching writing and can intuitively develop an approach tailored to the individual student. Patient and encouraging, I am highly committed to my... Read More

English

I am a certified and experienced English teacher who excels at working with students of all types of abilities! I also specialize in motivating students to perform at their ability level and have a knack for explaining grammatical concepts in a way that makes sense to any and every student. I have been tutoring English (grammar, writing, literature, reading) since I was a teenager and have had many clients tell me I'm the only tutor who ever made a difference in their understanding. Bottom Line:... Read More

Literature

I have been teaching American, British, and world literature for twenty-six years. I have expertise in all genres including poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and plays. I specialize in helping students understand and identify themes and literary elements in everything they read.

ACT English

I have been teaching every aspect of English for more than two decades, and test preparation is one of my strong suits. To get a high score on the ACT, students must be very knowledgeable. I can help you prepare. After working with me, you will know your facts backwards and forwards, and you will be confident!

Special Needs

I have more than six years of experience teaching students in grades 6 - 12 who have special needs (ADHD, Asperger Syndrome, Auditory Processing Disorder, Dyslexia, Non-Verbal Learning Disorder, among others). I also have experience *supervising* other teachers who are teaching special needs students in grades 1 - 12. I have worked extensively with IEPs, ensuring students receive the stated accommodations.

ESL/ESOL

I have been helping international students increase their English proficiency for more than six years. I have worked directly with students from Russia, Korea, China, Japan, Germany, and Honduras and have helped them improve written and spoken English. I also help them understand idioms and cultural norms, as these also make a big difference in someone's English language skills sounding natural and polished.

Public Speaking

I have been a classroom teacher, a community leader, and a media relations director for a university and have given speeches and presentations in front of hundreds of people. I have also worked with many students, preparing them for regional competition in public speaking and oral interpretation.

ADD/ADHD

I have more than six years experience teaching students in grades 6 - 12 who have ADD/ADHD. I also have experience supervising other teachers who are teaching ADD/ADHD students. I have worked extensively with IEPs, ensuring students receive the stated accommodations.

Aspergers

I have more than six years experience teaching students in grades 6 - 12 who have Asperger Syndrome and other Autism Spectrum disorders. I also have experience supervising other teachers who are teaching students who have Asperger Syndrome. I have worked extensively with IEPs, ensuring students receive the stated accommodations.

Dyslexia

I have more than six years of experience teaching students in grades 4 - 12 who have dyslexia. I also have experience supervising other teachers who are teaching students with dyslexia. I have worked extensively with IEPs, ensuring students receive the stated accommodations for dyslexia. In addition, I was a teacher and administrator at a school that specialized in educating dyslexic students.

Sociology

I hold a master's degree in sociology from Valdosta State University and have taught sociology at the college level.

Social Studies

I have taught middle school and high school social studies for nearly ten years and I have a master's degree in sociology. Because of my background in literature and my state certification as an English teacher, I am able to teach social studies courses with special emphasis on writing and on the connections between social science and the English language.
