I specialize in helping students develop as writers, sharpen their literary analysis, and raise their scores on the reading and writing sections of the SAT and ACT.

Welcome! I am a certified teacher with over twenty years of experience teaching high school English, including AP-level courses and standardized test prep. I specialize in helping students develop as writers, sharpen their literary analysis, and raise their scores on the reading and writing sections of the SAT and ACT. My approach is simple: meet students where they are, figure out what's actually getting in the way, and build from there. Whether we're untangling a thesis statement, learning to read a poem without panic, or building test-day strategies that stick, my goal is always the same — a student who leaves not just with better grades, but with real confidence in their own thinking.

English

English

I have been teaching English for over 20 years in both public and private schools. While I enjoy teaching in a classroom, I also appreciate individual tutoring and have noticed that working with students one-on-one can significantly boost their skills and confidence.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I have been working on learning Spanish and used to teacher ESL to students at a community college in Ohio. Would love to help those interested in improving their English skills!
Grammar

Grammar

I teach a 4th-6th grade class that focuses on English grammar. In this class I teach parts of speech and parts of a sentence, sentence diagramming, as well as mechanics and punctuation. My method is to go back and forth between the big picture and individual elements to help students get a full understanding of how the English language works.
Literature

Literature

In addition to having a BA in English and an MA in Secondary English Education, I have experience teaching high school English grades 9-12. During this time, I taught a wide variety of literature from Shakespeare to Edgar Allen Poe to Maya Angelou.
Proofreading

Proofreading

In addition to having a BA in English and an MA in Secondary English Education, I have experience teaching high school English grades 9-12. During this time, I had a lot of experience in grading and proofreading papers. I also had experience in proofreading while working at the Georgia State University Writing Center while earning my Master's degree.
Reading

Reading

While studying to receive my MA in Secondary English education, I took several courses with an emphasis in literacy development. These courses and my experience as a high school teacher helped me develop a wide variety of strategies to help students improve their reading comprehension.
Vocabulary

Vocabulary

In the course I teach to 4th-6th graders, I put a strong emphasis on vocabulary acquisition. I do this through building off of the words students already know as well as introducing them to new words weekly. I also help students develop strategies for figuring out the meaning of words based on their context.
Writing

Writing

I teach a once a week class to 4th-6th graders that focuses on writing. The goal is to first teach students how to write for different purposes and audiences and then we look to enhance their writing with various stylistic techniques.
