I have been teaching for more than twenty years with a Permanent NYS Certification in Reading K-12 and Elementary Education. I held tenured positions at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels.
I also taught Literacy Education classes at Adelphi University as an adjunct professor for ten years.

I prep students for the PSAT/SAT Reading and Writing sections. Not only do I provide guided practice for my students, but I also teach mini lessons for grammar, language and comprehension points that may need to be learned or reviewed.

In addition, I instruct students in Writing and English Language Arts.
I have learners who need additional support as well as those who want to excel by supplementing their traditional classwork. During the past three years, I have also taught English Literature to homeschooled students.

Please contact me to discuss your student’s literacy needs and how I can craft lessons to best support them.

Approved Subjects

Reading

Reading

I have been a Reading Teacher and tutor for many years with experience in tenured positions on the elementary through high school levels. As an adjunct professor at Adelphi University, I taught Literacy Education classes at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Currently, I successfully instruct students who need additional support, as well as those who want to excel by supplementing their traditional classwork.
SAT Reading

SAT Reading

I have been preparing students for the SAT Reading Test for many years. Not only do I review practice tests with my students, but I also provide mini lessons in grammar, language, and comprehension skills that may need to be learned or reviewed.
SAT Writing

SAT Writing

I have been preparing students for the PSAT Reading/Writing Test for many years. Not only do I review practice tests with my students, but I also provide mini lessons in grammar, language, vocabulary, and comprehension skills that may need to be learned or reviewed.
Vocabulary

Vocabulary

I have taught Reading for many years with experience in tenured positions on the elementary through high school levels. Vocabulary instruction, including the study of prefixes, suffixes, and root words is integral to understanding language and improving reading comprehension. I currently instruct students who need additional support, as well as those who want to excel by supporting their traditional classwork- vocabulary instruction included!
Writing

Writing

I have many years of experience as a Reading Teacher/Literacy Specialist. My writing instruction begins at the level of competency of my student. My goal is to help the student organize ideas using an appropriate format, upgrade vocabulary, and increase writing fluency. Writing and Reading are interconnected skills, and so I often use short pieces of text as points of reference for written response. I teach all levels of writers: students who need additional support and those who would like to achieve greater competency.
