I have taught all ages and abilities to communicate more effectively. I currently teach writing and media studies at the college level and freelance as a writer. Previous experience is as a book and magazine editor, and a New York state certified teacher in social studies.

I have tutored students to improve their language skills before taking the SAT; helped applicants write a "college essay" that gives a true picture of what makes them unique; and aided young professionals who wanted their resume to market them effectively as a unique candidate.

While the focus and products are different, what links my approach with professional writers, students in elementary school, and those in between is an emphasis on establishing and achieving communication goals. Let's figure out exactly what you want to achieve and work together until you are happy with the results.

Study Skills

Study Skills

The key to good study skills is to find the resonance and relevance between the subject and the student. In my own pursuit of education and in work with students as a NY state certified teacher it is clear that anyone can cram data into their head that may or may not stay as long as an upcoming test. My goal in helping to improve study skills (by improving focus, note-taking, and time management) is to help students recognize that what they gain from timely preparation and active participation in their education is of much greater value to them than all the things they fear and think they dislike about the action of learning outside the classroom.
