I've been in public education for 17 years. I taught history and ESL in both middle and high school. I was a Guidance counselor for 8 years in high schools. I assisted in every aspect of the college application process. I've provided study skills presentations, proctored and coordinated PSAT exams. I also have an active license in Cosmetology.

I have tutored, coached, counseled and advocated in order for students to be successful. Ultimately success lies within each individual and a good tutor can help you strive and for your best and achieve it. Students who perform better are students who understand the educational process better.

I specialize in creating results based plans for success with specific goals, anticipated obstacles, strategies to overcome obstacles and a timeline to reflect and refocus goals. I use a comprehensive approach that takes into account one's personality traits and habits to target skills that will be most effective in achieving the desired outcome.

Notes:
Tutoring: Organization, know strengths and weaknesses. Develop effective strategies that work for you, even if they are peculiar.

Psychological: "Get to know" your teacher. Figure out ahead of time WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR.

Scores: Master how your grade is being calculated and plan using percentage values and personal strengths to mathematically improve your odds of receiving a better grade. KNOW your syllabus.

American history can be very interesting if put into context of how it impacts our lives now.
