Bio

As a certified teacher for 30 years, I know that your commitment will make the difference... and as you're looking for a good tutor, you should do great. A fine teacher makes any subject more fun and meaningful, and easier to get through - that's my offer. I like to help a student recognize easier ways to develop more skills and contribute more than you might have thought. My favorite subjects are English and history (social studies) since they require thinking through answers to "why"...

As a certified teacher for 30 years, I know that your commitment will make the difference... and as you're looking for a good tutor, you should do great. A fine teacher makes any subject more fun and meaningful, and easier to get through - that's my offer. I like to help a student recognize easier ways to develop more skills and contribute more than you might have thought. My favorite subjects are English and history (social studies) since they require thinking through answers to "why" questions. I also enjoyed graduate science coursework and coached math teams to State three years. I ask you to bring your own questions because once you recognize what you're trying to do, a good path becomes clear.

All my GRE, NTE and SAT scores were above 95th percentile.

I was a National Merit semifinalist.

My mom taught ESL and ELL students for 20 years, and I taught at a bilingual tribal college for seven years. After lots of English in high school such as linguistics and AP, I took ten English language and literature classes at Yale. I edited one student newspaper and advised another.

Whether you’re looking for support in English, literature, history, science, test prep or math, please let me know when I may help you learn how to find your own answers.

History

American History,

American History

History is not about memorizing; it is about comparing alternate explanations for why events or social trends happened. Historians propose explanations that they back up with original research in primary source documents. When we learn history, we are getting perspectives and context to answer "why" questions.
Geography,

Geography

I taught 7th grade geography with lessons that asked students to find relevance in ecological regions, cultures and nations. Like history, geography should not be about memorizing. It should be about finding meaning in contrasting and comparing how people live and why their traditions might differ. I share approaches to learning and vast internet resources for your study.
Social Studies

Social Studies

Social studies is not about memorizing; it is about comparing explanations for why events and social trends happened. When we learn history, we are getting perspectives and context to answer "why" questions. I had an AP US history score of 5 then was a Yale B.A. in American Studies. With my M.Ed. and M.S., I was a school librarian and taught middle school geography, history, science and English – and high school English and math.
