I am a former middle school assistant principal with a doctoral degree in education. I am very professional and patient with children. I have two boys of my own and specialize in reading, writing, literature and test taking.

I have taught English, writing, high school literature and public speaking. I feel it is important to establish a good relationship with my students so they feel a sense of trust in the person teaching them. I feel it is important to build a child's sense of accomplishment in academics so that he or she may be willing to try new approaches and work hard to improve performance.
