I have 15+ years of experience teaching and tutoring English, working with students across a wide range of ages and skill levels in both one-on-one and classroom settings. My approach focuses on building strong foundations in reading comprehension, writing clarity, grammar, and critical thinking—skills that consistently raise performance in school while also helping students communicate confidently in academic and real-world settings. I’m especially effective with students who feel “stuck,” overwhelmed, or unsure how to organize their thoughts, because I break complex concepts into clear, repeatable strategies.
A major area of expertise is SAT Reading & Writing preparation. I help students improve accuracy and speed by learning how the test is designed, recognizing common question patterns, and developing a reliable method for approaching passages and answer choices. I’ve also taught discussion-based English classes centered on current events and modern media, where students practice analyzing information, forming their own opinions, and expressing ideas persuasively—an approach that builds both stronger writing and stronger independent thinking.
In addition to education, I bring a unique professional background in counseling, comedy writing, law, and software engineering. That mix has made me an unusually practical and engaging teacher: I can explain concepts clearly, keep sessions focused and productive, and also make learning feel lighter and more motivating. My goal is always measurable progress—whether that means higher test scores, stronger essays, improved confidence, or long-term skills that follow students into college and their future careers.
