Looking for a trained and experienced reading and writing instructor to help you with a middle school or high school English course? I was one of the first tutors for the NYS English high school Common Core exam, plus a successful tutor for the ELA sections of the ACT, SAT, ISEE, and SSAT. For two years, I taught regular English to gifted and twice exceptional students in grades 7-12 (all 6 levels every day!!), before deciding to focus on one-on-one instruction. Prior to that, I served as a substitute push-in literacy teacher at an intermediate school and a middle school. As a result, I can help you to improve your writing and literature analysis skills, and thus English course grades. As a teacher and tutor, I have helped students of all abilities to significantly improve their writing, study techniques, critical / analytical thinking abilities, grammar, and reading comprehension. Most of my tutoring students have become A-level students. I am constantly updating and refreshing my skills and lessons, to ensure the success of all students!

During the school year, my writing instruction is integrated with Social Studies tutoring and English tutoring. Over the summer, I offer a special, customized, enrichment module in both creative writing and academic writing for students in grades 5-14. I have taught English and History since January 2007, and currently hold teacher certification in two states. My classroom and tutoring instructional experiences have strengthened my ability to guide students through the processes of crafting creative short stories, academic essays, research papers, narrative essays, and literature reviews. I will teach you how to strengthen and prove an argument, or to present a unique story through showing, not telling. I supplement my writing instruction and editing suggestions with grammar tips and guidelines. Whether you need help with brainstorming techniques, organizing your thoughts into a coherent essay using the perfect graphic organizer, forming and expanding the analytical meat of body paragraphs and conclusions to conclusively prove a thesis, or perfecting the storytelling craft, I would love to mentor you as you improve as a writer!

You need to have Andrea on your student’s AP World History Team!

You need to have Andrea on your student’s AP World History (“APWH”) team if you want your child to dominate the class, not just do well. My son began working with Andrea the summer before starting APWH. She initially helped him frontload the materials to reduce the “drinking from a fire hose” effect that many students feel, given the vast amount of AP material to digest. As the school term progressed through the fall, I noticed that my son had a much better grasp of the material than he would have ordinarily had at that point in the year. Andrea used her deep understanding of the APWH material to help my son grasp the topics he did not fully understand (as well as those topics his teacher did not have time to cover). While my son studied for the exam, Andrea sent him encouraging emails, suggested additional study material based on his needs, and was extremely supportive. Even with underlying learning differences (of which I was previously unaware and to which Andrea had alerted me), my son scored a 5 on the APWH exam. I wish every AP World History student were lucky enough to have Andrea in his corner.

Very helpful with APUSH prep

She was very organized and sent prep information before the session so my daughter could fully get the most out of her time. She was very impressed with how she presented the information, and she feels much more prepared!

Expert writing tutor

My son has had a couple of sessions with Andrea. She is very passionate about writing and provided very valuable feedback for his writing. Most importantly, she has sparked his interest in writing. I highly recommend Andrea!

Amazing Tutor for my 8th Grader

My daughter was struggling with her analytical writing this year so we looked at a few tutors before deciding to go with Andrea. Andrea assessed my daughter and said she was in line with the skill level of an 8th grader, and didn't see any issues with her writing. Once she realized the school was pushing for work that was equivalent to 9th grade level writing, Andrea was great to pivot. Andrea provides great topics that are interesting to my daughter and actually enjoys working on during the week.

Extremely knowledgeable and patient

My daughter is being tutored on AP World History. In just 2 sessions, she has learned a lot about how to write DBQ’s - much more detailed than her own teacher. Very thorough. My older daughter used her as well and she did well on the AP exam. Would highly recommend!

Extremely helpful !!!!

Andrea helped me finish all of my transfer essays for the fall applications for all UCs and USC! She was one text away to check over anything that needed fixing for my essays and was such a great help with wording and organization that I couldn’t have successfully completed on my own. Highly recommend!

Andrea goes above and beyond in everything she does. She provides a ton of resources for her students and is the most thorough tutor I have seen in more years as an educator.

Thorough, Diligent, Skilled Tutor Who Truly Cares

Andrea is exactly the kind of tutor any parent would want for her child. She tutored our 9th grade son in World History AP, and being the first AP class he has ever taken, it proved challenging, as it was a different kind of learning. She is experienced, smart, diligent, but more than anything else, she really cares about the success of the student. She came up with study plans, and also is very flexible with these, taking into account other tests and exams our child had at various times. She was excellent at honing in on the problem areas very quickly, and suggesting various study tools to address those areas. We hope he is able to work with her again next year in APUSH!
