I am a dedicated educator with years of experience helping students succeed in reading, writing, and mathematics. My background in education has prepared me to support learners from elementary through high school. I have taught in classrooms, led small groups, and provided one-on-one tutoring, giving me the flexibility to adapt to different learning styles. Over the years, I have guided students in mastering foundational literacy and math as well as advanced writing and critical thinking skills.

My tutoring approach is centered on meeting students where they are and creating a plan that moves them forward with confidence. I use strategies that are personalized, engaging, and results-driven—whether reteaching core concepts, providing structured practice, or offering enrichment opportunities. I believe learning should be interactive and supportive, with students encouraged to ask questions and build independence. Parents consistently share that their children leave sessions with stronger skills, greater motivation, and renewed confidence.

I am comfortable working with students who need extra support as well as those seeking to be challenged beyond the classroom. I have successfully worked with a wide range of grade levels and backgrounds, both online through Zoom and in person, ensuring sessions are effective and tailored. My goal is to raise achievement while showing every student that learning can be empowering and enjoyable. For families seeking high-quality instruction and measurable growth, I provide a premium tutoring experience that delivers lasting results.

Essay Writing

I specialize in guiding students through every stage of the essay writing process, from brainstorming and outlining to drafting and revising. With years of experience teaching High school English, AP Lang & Composition, and NY State Exam essay writing, I have helped students strengthen their thesis development, organization, and use of evidence. My approach emphasizes clarity, critical thinking, and polished expression, giving students the tools to succeed on class assignments, standardized tests, and college essays. Students leave my sessions not only with stronger essays but also with confidence in their ability to write independently.
