I specialize in English, Writing and History (American, European, and World History), and enjoy working with students on day to day assignments as well as larger research papers and test preparation. I have over eight years of experience working with grade school, high school, and college age students. I am very skilled at engaging each student based on his or her unique way of understanding the subject at hand.

I enjoy helping students discover which institutions may best fit their future career and life goals, since there are so many options and the choices can seem overwhelming! Students I have managed the college application process for have gone on to Yale University, Columbia University, and Stanford University.

I am also an accomplished playwright and my works include "The Picture of Dorian Gray" (adapted from the Oscar Wilde novel), "The Genius!" (about the life of painter Salvador Dali), "Gloria" (an adaptation of F.

My plays have been produced at Theatre Row, Playwrights Horizons, the Atlantic, The Looking Gl
