Vocabulary

Word Power! Give yourself a verbal advantage by boosting your vocabulary.


Grammar

Learning a language should be fun. Let me help you wipe out "bad" grammar while making the process painless.

When you use correct grammar, you are able to enhance your speaking and writing skills. Together we can improve your everyday interactions with family and friends as well as improve your writing (i.e., papers, resumes, or presentations). Ultimately, your communication skills will improve with proper grammar (and punctuation).

Microsoft Excel

I have more than ten years experience using Microsoft Excel in a professional environment. I am able to help you with the various spreadsheet features for data manipulation and arithmetic operations. Together, we can use your data to prepare reports or presentations in other Microsoft applications including Word and PowerPoint.

Microsoft Word

I have many years of experience with Microsoft Word. I can help you use Word for business reports and presentations as well as term papers, literature reviews and/or other academic assignments that may include the incorporation of pictures and tables.

Microsoft PowerPoint

PowerPoint can make your speech or presentation one that captures the attention of your audience and shares the information they need to know.

My experience with PowerPoint covers classroom lessons, boardroom presentations, and general homework assignments for the past 10 years.

If you want to jazz up your presentation in a way that captures your audience, let me help you out.

Reading

The biggest mistake in the classroom is trying to teach reading to every student the same way. It just won't work. There is no single formula.

Your child is an individual and may need a variety of strategies to become a successful reader. I will carefully customize lessons for your student/child that incorporates essential concepts, principles and skills for reading.

Assessing your student will be done during each session. No one method of assessment will be used, but instead... Read More

Writing

For students, learning to write well takes practice. I have been assisting students for over 10 years. I am able to offer writing assistance for middle school, high school and college (undergrad and graduate) students.

Don't wait until the last minute to write your paper, contact me now so that we can get you an "A" for your work.

English

Learning English will incorporate reading, writing, research as well as listening and speaking components. Students read and understand a wide variety of texts. Additionally for students learning English, it is necessary to have them listen and respond to the ideas of others and learn how to use the oral and written conventions of the English language in speaking and writing.

For English language learners (ELLs), those who are acquiring English skills and learning to read, English... Read More

Spelling

If you child is having difficulty with Spelling, I would be happy to assess them so that we can begin to determine their challenges. I use the following philosophy as a guide to approach assessment and instruction:

--Emphasis should be on accuracy
--Multisensory instruction builds skills
--Explicit phonemic awareness instruction is the first step to successful decoding of words

A student’s ability in spelling affects every academic area, and gaps in their phonics... Read More

Elementary (K-6th)

I have over 12 years experience working with elementary students in learning to read. I have lessons designed that include a variety of interactive curriculum elements that customize learning for the student and their abilities. Lessons are appropriate, fun, interactive, interesting and customized for the student.

Phonics

While I was completing my Master of Education degree with a specialization in Advanced Literacy and Curriculum, I had the opportunity to work with several elementary students on phonics and phoneme identification strategies. I tutored 15 students for a period 16 weeks. My graduate work was done under the supervision of doctorate staff specializing in literacy and dyslexia.

Business

I am a dynamic, creative and innovative business professional with over 15 successful years of combined experience in high tech, logistics and higher education. I have held project management, customer service and communication/marketing positions. I have experience in liaison activities, outside presentations, training and client relations. I have led and managed teams and have brought ideas to fruition. My experience allows me to provide astute strategic planning and practical implementation... Read More

Career Development

With over 10 years of human resource and career planning experience in private and higher educational organizations, I am able to work with individuals as they navigate their profession or set their sights on new careers. After individuals complete a self-assessment, I work with them on developing an action plan. The career planning process is ongoing, and often can be bi-directional.
