I am an English and English as a Second Language teacher who has worked in business for many years. I taught English as a Second Language in the 1980's, SAT courses in the 1990's, and was an instructor at the Glenmont Job Corps Academy for three months in 2011. I was a Student Support Specialist for Tutors with Computers - Read and Succeed this past year, working with students in their homes in the unique reading program.

I like to tutor English, ESL, reading, Math, and French, and help prepare students for the SAT test. I have made progress with students who were doing poorly in English and Math. It doesn't take me long to make them feel more confident and raise their grades. And SAT students can learn strategies for selecting the right answers to improve their scores.
