I am an NYC-based English Language Arts educator with 8+ years of full-time teaching experience across secondary school and higher education. I hold an M.A. in English (Literature Studies & Theory, Northeastern Illinois University) and a B.A. in Broadcast Journalism & Film (Columbia College Chicago).
I currently teach at The Quad Preparatory School in Manhattan, working one-on-one and in small groups with twice-exceptional gifted students in grades 6–12. Previously, I taught IB Diploma Programme English at Lyceum Kennedy French American School (grades 6–12, four years), high school ELA and READ 180 Literacy Intervention at New Visions AIM Charter High School II, and College Reading, College Writing, and Creative Writing as an Adjunct Professor at East-West University.
My approach is diagnostic and student-centered: I identify the specific gap — thesis construction, close reading, essay structure, grammar — and build a targeted plan around each student's needs. I am experienced with neurodiverse and twice-exceptional learners, ESL/multilingual students, IB Diploma candidates, and students preparing for the SAT/ACT.
