I am a Massachusetts certified teacher for middle and high school, with a master's degree in Education (majoring in middle and high school English). I really enjoy working with students, especially those who struggle with reading and writing. For the last 21 years, I have been teaching students in a private high school in Massachusetts! For the past ten years, I have had four sections of classes and worked directly with students who have been identified as needing extra support in both reading and writing. I have also had a section of honors students, challenging them to improve their close reading and writing skills along with doing critical research and analysis.
With both visual learning tools for reading and focused writing practice, I witness and enjoy seeing my students gain trust and confidence in themselves as readers and writers in my classroom! I strongly feel that patience and positive support for young adults are the cornerstones for real growth and learning to happen.
I have experience teaching full classrooms on Zoom so I am happy to meet your tutoring and scheduling needs using an online platform. Finding the joy in reading and writing is my goal as your tutor. In order to learn, material must be relevant and interesting, therefore I spend a lot of time researching new and interesting books and teaching materials; this is very important to my approach.
I am looking forward to helping and getting to know you and your families!
