Hi there! I'm Maureen, and I'm passionate about helping middle school students grow as confident, capable communicators.

As a licensed educator with 10 years of classroom experience, I specialize in nonfiction reading, creative writing, public speaking, and research skills. I've worked with students across a wide range of needs -- including those in honors programs, general education, and students with ADHD. My background allows me to meet learners where they are and create supportive, structured sessions that build both skills and self-esteem.

My tutoring approach is student-centered and strengths-based. I believe that every learner has potential, and my job is to help unlock it. Whether we're preparing a speech, organizing an essay, or tackling informational texts, I bring patience, encouragement, and practical tools to every session. My goal is to make learning feel less overwhelming and more empowering. I also make time for reflection, so students leave each session knowing exactly what they accomplished -- and what comes next.

If you're looking for an experienced, compassionate tutor who truly understands middle school learners, I'd love to support you or your child on this academic journey.
