I'm passionate about helping students unlock their full potential and ignite their enthusiasm for English, grammar, and effective writing. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts from Bates College, a teaching certificate in Elementary Education from Central Connecticut State University, extensive coursework at the University of Maryland, and advanced training from Proofread Anywhere and The Poynter Institute in Editing and Intermediate Editing.
With two years of diverse teaching and tutoring experience, I've supported students aged 8 through 18. My experience ranges from classroom teaching in Elementary Education to personalized one-on-one tutoring, as well as group and private lessons in other activities such as swimming. This has allowed me to adapt teaching strategies across disciplines effectively.
My tutoring style is interactive and student-centered, emphasizing critical thinking. I utilize inquiry-based learning, drills, practice exercises, and occasional role-play to keep lessons engaging. Understanding that grammar mastery involves more than memorization, I help students grasp relationships among different parts of speech, enhancing their ability to communicate clearly and effectively.
Students working with me consistently achieve improved grades, increased confidence, and genuine skill mastery. I create a supportive learning environment built on patience, creativity, and empathy. Above all, my motivation comes from witnessing those powerful moments of recognition and pride that accompany true understanding. If you're looking for a dedicated tutor who will guide you or your child to clarity in writing, grammatical proficiency, and enhanced critical thinking, I would be thrilled to support your educational journey.
