After wrapping up, I asked him to share how he'd become such a masterful teacher and American Literature buff. I should not have been surprised to learn that in addition to currently teaching AP English in NYC, he's also a published creative writing author with two Harvard degrees. I highly recommend him to you and will almost certainly be booking him again soon! He is worth every penny!

Patient, active, encouraging. During one session, I was very tired and had trouble remembering my own name; nevertheless, I still profited from the lesson because of Isabel's "scaffolding." Isabel is fun to study with because she is a well rounded person. She’s familiar with all the major writers in Spanish and South American literature from Bolaño to Vargas Llosa, knows film, geography, and history.
