Hello, I am a retired elementary school teacher, who works with higher level students. I tutor students in grades K- 8th as a Certified K-8 Elementary Education teacher from Rowan University and will tutor in person and online. I have 25+ years experience teaching high end learners as the Gifted and Talented Teacher, Debate, Mock Trial, and Chess Coach for the school district and specialize in working with students who are very bright.

I am a mom of three grown children, and enjoy working with students, helping them reach their potential and encouraging them to stretch and get out of their comfort zone, encouraging them, and coaching them to reach their goals using my experience in winning competitions. I have been a small group teacher and tutor for many years and I work well with students helping them reach into themselves and helping them see their own potential. I am a very patient and encouraging teacher and I look forward to meeting you!

I have extensive experience teaching reading, helping students work on STEAM projects for competition, helping students prepare for Debate and Mock Trial competitions, learning strategy for Chess, teaching logic, and higher level thinking skills. Currently I am the Assistant Director for a Gifted and Talented Consortium running workshops for gifted students in surrounding counties. I am tutoring students, running high end programing, and teaching STEAM and Public Speaking with students in all subject areas at a virtual school one day a week.

Homeschool

Homeschool

I am a certified k-6 elementary school teacher who loves to work with the high end student who finds the on level materials not challenging. I have taught Gifted and Talented in grades k-6 for over 25 years. As a GT teacher I use the student's interest and find ways to incorporate skills and standards weaved into projects moving quickly through things already mastered and expanding on subjects that interest students and deepening the level of mastery while expanding into those areas that are weaker.
Public Speaking

I have 25 years experience as a Public Speaking teacher and Debate Coach as a former Gifted and Talented Teacher in my school district. In addition, I have both judged numerous Forensics competitions in Public Speaking Symposiums and the Annual Debate Competition for the Area Debate Students. As the Assistant Director of the NJ Consortium for Gifted and Talented Programs, I co run the debate competition, running professional development for judges, coaches, and while teaching, my own debate club, and Forensics Public Speaking encouraging speaking with expression and confidence, teaching Interpretive Reading, Declamation, and Duo categories. I will teach you both how to speak confidently with poise. I love working with students to improve their performance as well as tweaking their speeches for maximum points on a judges sheet.
