ACT
I have worked with dozens of students, both in-person and online, to prepare for this standardized college entrance exam over the past six years. Using official practice tests as a base, I work with students to spot patterns in the types of incorrect responses and focus in on those areas for further practice so the student is able to recognize and respond quickly to those answer types in the timed, high-pressure exam scenario on test day.

*ABOUT: SUBJECTS*
ACT
I have worked with dozens of students, both in-person and online, to prepare for this standardized college entrance exam over the past six years. Using official practice tests as a base, I work with students to spot patterns in the types of incorrect responses and focus in on those areas for further practice so the student is able to recognize and respond quickly to those answer types in the timed, high-pressure exam scenario on test day.

FRENCH
I have two years of experience as a Community Education French teacher and instructional designer. I designed the curriculum and implemented my courses, resulting in excellent student feedback over a variety of student populations. I have worked with French Language students from middle school to middle age as a private tutor through Wyzant over the past five years, providing help with school assignments as well as designing specialized curriculum to meet the hobbyist language-learner's goals.

ENGLISH COMPOSITION
Formerly an English Composition instructor at a Minnesota University, I am passionate about education and fluid in teaching style. I enjoy the challenge of working with my students to find a way to understand the material. The best feeling in the world is to see the shift from confusion to confidence on a student's face! With Master's degree in a field of rhetoric, I'm equipped not only with the technical knowledge of grammar and punctuation when writing in English, but also the theory behind crafting a complete and persuasive text.

ENGLISH TEXT EDITING
As an academic and technical editor, I have experience with multiple style guides and keen attention to detail. I've studied rhetoric and information architecture, graduating with a Master of Arts, to assist in identifying information gaps and style issues in both academic and professional texts.

*COMMON QUESTIONS*
HOW DOES ONLINE TUTORING WORK?
As an online tutor, I'm able to offer a lower rate than other tutors by removing commute time and cost considerations with my online rate

Study Skills

Study Skills

Successful testing isn't always about knowing all of the answers; sometimes, it is as simple as knowing how to take a test. From cracking the book to filling in the blanks, the trick is to scout out the pertinent information with a whole understanding of processes in any subject. As a top scorer on the GRE (92% writing and 89% verbal) and ACT (32), I have researched and mastered the standardized testing rubrics. Beyond standardized testing, I have honed my study skills to result in an AA degree (GPA 4.00), a BA degree (GPA 3.82), and an MA degree (GPA 3.87).

Emma is a very helpful and excellent teacher! She sends the prep test before tutoring and goes extra to help find resources websites, too. My daughter's confidence has been up since tutoring.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Emma is currently helping my son with ACT English and Reading prep. Three lessons so far, he feels like she understands his struggles and seems to have a great connection with her. Emma is very patient and great to work with. Highly recommended.

Kelly, 6 lessons with Emma

Great Tutor

Very thorough with lesson plans and going over homework. Now that's what a tutor should do! My son is very comfortable with Emma. I highly recommend her.

RoseMarie, 25 lessons with Emma

Emma is exceptional

Let me start off by saying that Emma has been the best online tutor we have ever used for my son. She is patient in her demeanor and truly gifted in her ability to convey important and sometimes very difficult subject matter. Emma was also very flexible when we found ourselves in a scheduling bind. She truly cares about her students and I believe that what makes her so effective. My son's writing skills improved dramatically in a little over three months with Emma. He obtained a solid "A" on his final composition and he feels much more confident. If you're looking for exceptional, don't look any further.

Jeff, 59 lessons with Emma

Patient tutor

Came up with a plan to assist me between lessons and I thought that was great. After a problem starting my online lesson, Emma was super patient with me and I appreciate that. I’m a bit technically challenged.

Leilani, 1 lesson with Emma

Thoughtful and knowledgeable

My daughter did her first Act English and science lesson with Emma. She really liked her and said she learned how to better read and understand the questions on the test.

Saimah, 1 lesson with Emma

Knowledgeable and patient. Always responsive and understanding.

Easy to communicate with and always prepared. She’s helping me with my knowledge of French and has helped me improve my grades. She is always understanding if I need to reschedule and is always on time and professional. It feels more lime an in-person class than an online one.

Mia, 15 lessons with Emma

Excellent tutor

The lessons I took with Emma were extremely beneficial for developing my reading, writing, translation and comprehension skills in French. The exercises we worked on were very well-structured and helpful, and have not only kept up my interest in French but have also provoked a lot of interest in language in general. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to learn/improve their French.
