I’ve tutored students in business writing, management theory, and real-world application of concepts. My approach is structured, supportive, and rooted in making complex ideas understandable through practical examples.

Elementary Math

I’ve worked with K–8 students for over 6 years, helping them build confidence in math through engaging and personalized instruction. I support number sense, math facts, word problems, and foundational concepts using visuals, games, and real-world examples guided by Common Core and State aligned standards. I adapt lessons to individual learning styles and am experienced with IEP goals. My goal is to help each student feel successful and empowered in math.

English

With 6+ years of tutoring experience, I help students improve writing, grammar, and reading comprehension across grade levels. I specialize in essay structure, sentence clarity, literary analysis, and proofreading. My approach is supportive and skills-based, focused on helping students express ideas clearly and effectively. I work with middle school, high school, and college students on both academic (MLA, APA) and creative assignments.

Executive Functioning

With over 6 years of experience, I help students build executive functioning skills like time management, organization, task initiation, and working memory. I have worked extensively with students who have IEPs and 504 plans, tailoring strategies that align with their academic and behavioral goals. My approach is supportive, structured, and designed to reduce overwhelm while promoting independence and self-confidence. Whether your student needs help staying organized, starting tasks, or managing school materials, I provide consistent tools and coaching that make a real difference.

I’ve coached students and professionals in preparing for academic, internship, and job interviews with a focus on clarity, confidence, and strategic communication. My background includes academic mentoring, public speaking, and resume coaching, along with coursework in Organizational Psychology, Training & Development, and Psychological Adjustment. I help clients anticipate common interview questions, refine their responses, and practice delivery through mock interviews. My sessions are tailored to each person’s goals, experience level, and target industry.

Microsoft Word

I have over 6 years of experience helping students and professionals master Microsoft Word for school, work, and personal use. I specialize in formatting documents, using styles and templates, managing headers and footers, and working with Track Changes and tables. I offer clear, step-by-step instruction tailored to each learner’s needs. Whether you’re formatting an essay or designing a polished resume, I can help you navigate Word with confidence and make It work for you, not the other way around.

Proofreading

I have over 6 years of experience proofreading and editing. In my work with college students and adult learners, I have helped with academic essays, research papers, resumes, cover letters, and business writing. I regularly support undergraduate and graduate students with assignments in APA and MLA format—ensuring correct citations, formatting, grammar, and academic tone. I focus on improving clarity, flow, and structure while maintaining the writer’s unique voice. For adult learners returning to school or advancing their careers, I offer supportive and detail-oriented feedback that builds confidence and strengthens professional communication. In my work with K–12 students, I tailor proofreading support to match grade-level expectations while helping students become stronger, more independent writers. I assist with personal narratives, book reports, literary essays, and creative writing. My approach balances correction with explanation—I walk students through their errors and offer strategies they can apply in future assignments. I’ve worked with both general education students and those with IEPs or learning differences, using scaffolding and positive reinforcement to help them grow in both mechanics and expression.

Reading

With over 6 years of experience, I help students in grades K–8 strengthen reading fluency, comprehension, and phonics skills. I use interactive strategies to support decoding, main idea identification, and text analysis. I’m experienced in working with reluctant readers and students who need extra support building reading confidence. Lessons are tailored to the learner’s level and interests, as well as state standards for maximum growth.

Study Skills

With over 6 years of tutoring experience, I help students develop study skills by targeting key areas of executive functioning such as organization, time management, task initiation, and working memory. I work with learners of all ages to build personalized systems for planning, note-taking, test preparation, and staying on track with assignments. My approach is supportive and strategy-based—focused on helping students feel capable, less overwhelmed, and more independent in their learning. Whether your student struggles with procrastination or forgetfulness, I provide the tools and coaching to turn habits around.
