Through lively dialogues and examples/visuals of model essays, I help students who tend to freeze when faced with difficult passages or tasks. At first insecure, my students become confident and secure in the material and clear on how to tackle assignments. With clear understanding, students enjoy their work.

I am successful in guiding students through even very challenging reading and writing assignments. Through lively dialogues and examples/visuals of model essays, I help students who tend to freeze when faced with difficult passages or tasks. At first insecure, my students become confident and secure in the material and clear on how to tackle assignments. With clear understanding, students enjoy their work. Students move from confusion to clarity, insecurity to secure ideas. I see the spark in my students’ eyes when they glean the meaning of even the most challenging texts and are confident in how to proceed. It is the greatest moment when students enjoy the material, and we even laugh about it, as we wade through text and subtext, moving from discussion into the fun of writing with clarity and purpose.

My background includes a bachelor’s degree in English literature from Barnard College of Columbia University and a Master’s degree in Educational Theatre from Adelphi University, earning a 4.0 GPA. My studies have involved extensive writing and research on literature, philosophy, and drama. I also have teaching certifications in English, grades 7-12 and in Theatre, K-12. I have taught English for five years. I am now available to tutor grades 7-12 and at the college level.

As a recent Master’s in Theatre graduate, I am sensitive to feelings of “stage fright” students may have in reading and writing. Stage fright is common when approaching new challenges. With my personable connection, students are put at ease. I encourage students to ask any questions they have that clouds their understanding. I provide answers, imparting knowledge and intuition. Working together, student and tutor find an antidote to stage fright.

Let’s begin our talks toward greater understanding and higher grades. I offer a 15 minute “chemistry” session to sample our work together.

Linda was attentive, proactive, and flexible

I am pleased to write this recommendation for Linda. She recently worked with my daughter on brainstorming and developing her internship essay, and we are truly grateful for her guidance and support. Linda helped shape my daughter’s ideas into a thoughtful and cohesive narrative. She was able to bring together my daughter’s various activities, experiences, and interests into a clear and engaging storyline that genuinely reflected her strengths and aspirations. Throughout the process, Linda was attentive, proactive, and flexible. She took the time to listen carefully, asked insightful questions, and provided constructive suggestions that strengthened the essay significantly. Her collaborative approach made the experience both productive and enjoyable. I highly recommend Linda for her dedication, creativity, and ability to guide students in expressing their ideas effectively.
