I am also an Editor Emeritus for Enotes.com and have been awarded badges of expertise in most major works of literature, composition, and social sciences. I have written study guides, unit plans, and over 2000 articles online for teachers, students, and administrators.

I am a member of ETS (Educational Testing Service) and have been selected to grade AP tests. I have also been a speaker at the National AP Conference, hosting a session "Composition as Design: Reading and Writing in the Digital Classroom."

I have tutored students in AP test prep and SAT test prep with exceptional results. I have also been awarded the ETS Recognition of Excellence for scoring 200 out of 200 on the Praxis English Lang Lit Comp Test.

I am well versed in helping students write extraordinary college essays that are creative and stand out from the masses. Former students of mine have gained admission to Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, and Dartmouth, among other top-ranked universities.

I am very professional, and I love kids. I have three small children of my own, and I look forward to helping yours achieve their best!
